91. On Christ Salvation Rests Secure

L.M.
by Medley
1
On Christ salvation rests secure;
 
The Rock of Ages must endure;
 
Nor can that faith be overthrown
 
Which rests 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 the 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!
 
Oh wondrous fabric! power unknown
 
That rears it on the "Living Stone"!
5
But most adore His precious name;
 
His glory and His grace proclaim;
 
For us, condemned, despised, undone,
 
He gave Himself, the "Living Stone."
