THE CHURCH － Her Foundation
|
|---|
|
| 1. | Christ is made the sure foundation, |
| | Christ the head and cornerstone, |
| | Chosen of the Lrod and precious, |
| | Binding all the Church in one; |
| | Holy Zion's help forever, |
| | And her confidence alone. |
| 2. | Founded on the Lord victorious, |
| | Christ the everlasting Rock, |
| | Stands the Church in heav'nly places, |
| | Dreading not the storm or shock; |
| | Built with life divine she ever |
| | Stands against attack and mock. |
| 3. | Though the gates of hades frustrate, |
| | Yet the Church still stands for God, |
| | Overcoming evil spirits |
| | By her Lord's victorious blood; |
| | And at Christ's return in triumph |
| | All her foes will then be trod. |
