METER: 8.7.8.7.D. with chorus.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: John R. Sweney

1Thou art the Rock everlasting,
  Spiritual Rock cleft for me;
 Drinking of Thee as the Spirit,
  Thus I become one with Thee.
 Thou art the Rock never shaken,
  ’Tis on this Rock we are built;
 Joined unto Thee thru redemption,
  Nothing can shake us thru guilt.
Chorus  
  Lord, how we treasure Thy value,
   All that Thou art is for us;
  While here in loving remembrance
   We share Thy wealth glorious.
2Thou art the Stone tried by many,
  Precious to God, dear to us,
 Thou art so sure and trustworthy,
  Thy strength is so marvelous.
 Thou art the Stone that is living,
  Chosen of God, made our own;
 So energetic and pow’rful,
  With endless life to us known.
3Thou art the Stone of Foundation
  Laid by our God, safe and sure;
 It is by this sure foundation
  Safety fore’er we secure.
 To us no other foundation
  Of any kind man can lay;
 Thou art the only foundation
  Which we have now and for aye.
4Lord, for God’s spiritual building,
  Thou art the Chief Cornerstone;
 Both of the Jews and the Gentiles
  By Thee are built into one.
 Lord, Thou art also the Topstone,
  Brought forth in measureless grace;
 Thou art our cover and glory,
  Moving our hearts in Thy praise.
