Matthew 16:18: Upon this Rock Izvill build My church
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Not on a frail sinfial 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.
