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."
