God builds his Church on one true Rock- Christ's death and resurrection; all power is his- sin, death and hell he holds in his subjection: in Zion God has set a Rock unmoved by Satan's direst shock-in Christ is sure salvation. Hell's gates spew out their evil floods in bitter hate around us; in Christ our Rock we stand secure sin's force can not confound us: in Zion God has set a Rock unmoved by Satan's direst shock-in Christ is sure salvation. The hordes of darkness do their worst as fierce the conflict rages, but Satan storms Christ's Church in vain- still stands the Rock of Ages: in Zion God has set a Rock unmoved by Satan's direst shock-in Christ is sure salvation. As living stones, O conquering Christ, come, make in us your dwelling! Display through us to souls enslaved your strength beyond all telling, that all may see in Zion's Rock the Power that frees from Satan's shock, and find in Christ salvation!
