On Christ, salvation rests secure;

| 1. | On Christ, salvation rests secure; |
| | The Rock of Ages must endure; |
| | Nor can that faith be overthrown |
| | Which rest upon the "Living Stone." |
| 2. | No other hope shall intervene; |
| | To Him we look, on Him we lean; |
| | Other foundations we disown, |
| | And build on Christ, the "Living |
| | Stone." |
| 3. | In Him it is ordained to raise |
| | A temple to Jehovah's praise, |
| | Composed of all His saints, who own |
| | No Savior but the "Living Stone." |
| 4. | View the vast building, see it rise: |
| | The work how great! the plan how |
| | wise! |
| | O wondrous fabric! pow'r unknown: |
| | That rests it on the "Living Stone." |
| 5. | But most adore His precious name: |
| | His glory and His grace proclaim! |
| | For us, the lost, condemned, undone, |
| | He gave Himself, the "Living Stone." |
