Firmly stand for God, in the world's mad strife, Though the bleak winds roar, and the waves beat high : âTis the Rock alone giveth strength and life, When the hosts of sin are nigh.
Let us stand on the Rock ! firmly stand on the Rock ! On the Rock of Christ alone : If the strife we endure, we shall stand secure, 'Mid the throng who surround the throne.
2. Firmly stand for Right, with a motive pure, With a true heart bold, and a faith e'er strong ; 'Tis the Rock alone giveth triumph sure, O'er the world's array of wrong.
3. Firmly stand for Truth ! it will serve you best ; Though it waiteth long, it is sure at last ; 'Tis the Rock alone giveth peace and rest When the storms of life are past.
