Am                                 E 
Built on the Rock the Church shall stand 
Am        C             D E Am 
Even when steeples are falling. 
Am                             E 
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land; 
Am               C          D  E Am 
Bells still are chiming and calling, 
Am          Em        C   G  C 
Calling the young and old to rest, 
Am         C       B       E 
But above all the soul distressed, 
Am           F       E   Am 
Longing for rest everlasting. 

Am                          E 
Surely in temples made with hands 
Am            C            D E  Am 
God, the Most High, is not dwelling; 
Am                          E 
High above earth his temple stands, 
Am          C        D E  Am 
All earthly temples excelling. 
Am         Em        C      G C 
Yet he who dwells in heav'n above 
Am         C         B     E 
Chooses to live with us in love, 
Am         F          E  Am 
Making our bodies his temple. 

Am                           E 
We are God's house of living stones, 
Am            C       D E Am 
Built for his own habitation. 
Am                            E 
He through baptismal grace us owns 
Am           C           D E Am 
Heirs of his wondrous salvation. 
Am          Em      C    G  C 
Were we but two his name to tell, 
Am           C          B     E 
Yet he would deign with us to dwell 
Am           F             E Am 
With all his grace and his favor. 

Am                              E 
Here stands the font before our eyes, 
Am          C          D E  Am 
Telling how God did receive us. 
Am                              E 
Th' altar recalls Christ's sacrifice 
Am           C         D E   Am 
And what the sacrament gives us. 
Am             Em         C    G  C 
Here sound the Scriptures that proclaim 
Am           C       B       E 
Christ yesterday, today, the same, 
Am      F           E  Am 
And evermore, our Redeemer. 

Am                              E 
Grant then, O God, your will be done, 
Am             C                D E Am 
That, when the church bells are ringing, 
Am                       E 
Many in saving faith may come 
Am               C          D E  Am 
Where Christ his message is bringing 
Am         Em      C   G    C 
"I know my own; my own know me. 
Am           C         B          E 
You, not the world, my face shall see. 
Am         F              E Am 
My peace I leave with you always."
