  *++Lyrics:|\\
Firmly stand for God, in the world's mad strife,\\
Tho' the bleak winds roar, and the waves beat high;\\
'Tis the Rock alone giveth strength and life,\\
When the hosts of sin are nigh.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
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.\\
\\
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.\\
\\
Firmly stand for Truth! it will serve you best;\\
Tho' it waiteth long, it is sure at last;\\
'Tis the Rock alone giveth peace and rest,\\
When the storms of life are past.\\
\\
