91 O Rock of Ages, one foundation

1 O Rock of Ages, one foundation, On which the living Church doth rest,-- The Church, whose walls are strong salvation, Whose gates are praise,--Thy name be blest! 2 Son of the living God, O call us Once and again to follow Thee; And give us strength, whate'er befall us, Thy true disciples still to be. 3 When fears appall, and faith is failing, Make Thy voice heard o'er wind and wave, "Why doubt?"--and in Thy love prevailing Put forth Thine hand to help and save. 4 And if our coward hearts deny Thee, In inmost thought, in deed, or word, Let not our hardness still defy Thee, But with a look subdue us, Lord. 5 O strengthen Thou our weak endeavor Thee in Thy sheep to serve and tend, To give ourselves to Thee forever, And find Thee with us to the end.
