Composer:J. H. Burke

36. Build Ye on the Rock

1 Build ye on the Rock foundation,
And thy house shall surely stand
When the storm brings desolation
To the house built on the sand.

Refrain:
Build ye on the Rock foundation,
On the Rock that standeth sure—
On the Rock of God's salvation,
That forever shall endure.

2 Build ye on the Rock foundation,
Build with purpose true and brave;
Build a glorious habitation,
Strong to shelter, strong to save. [Refrain]

3 Build ye on the Rock foundation,
Corner stone of wondrous love;
In thy day of exaltation,
Thou shalt dwell with Christ above. [Refrain]
