Christ in Song 509
Stand on the Rock
1Firmly stand for God, in the world's mad strife,
Though the bleak winds roar, and the waves beat high; 'Tis the Rock alone giveth strength and life,
When the hosts of sin are nigh.
RefrainLet us stand on the Rock,
Firmly stand on the Rock,
On the Rock of Christ alone;
If the strife we endure,
We shall stand secure, 'Mid the throng who surround the throne.
2Firmly stand for Right, with a motive pure,
With a true heart bold, and a faith e'er strong; 'Tis the Rock alone giveth triumph sure,
O'er the world's array of wrong.
3Firmly stand for Truth, it will serve you best;
Though it waiteth long, it is sure at last; 'Tis the Rock alone giveth peace and rest,
When the storms of life are past.
