[Not on a frail sinful creature]
Upon this Rock I will build My church.
—xvi. 18.
Not on a frail sinful creature
Dost Thou build Thy church below:
Thee, the Rock, divinely greater,
Basis of our faith we know!
Rooted in Thy love and grounded
Still Thy people shall prevail,
Shout to see their foes confounded,
Triumph o'er the gates of hell.
