Capo on 3rd fret
AmBuilt on the Rock the Church shall Estand
AmEven when Csteeples are fDalEliAmng.
AmCrumbled have spires in ev'ry lEand;
AmBells still are cChiming and DcalEliAmng,
AmCalling the Emyoung and Cold Gto Crest,
AmBut above aCll the sBoul distEressed,
AmLonging for rFest everElastAming.
AmSurely in temples made with Ehands
AmGod, the Most CHigh, is not DdwEellAming;
AmHigh above earth his temple Estands,
AmAll earthly Ctemples eDxcEellAming.
AmYet he who Emdwells in Cheav'n GabCove
AmChooses to Clive with Bus in Elove,
AmMaking our Fbodies his EtemAmple.
AmWe are God's house of living Estones,
AmBuilt for his Cown habiDtaEtiAmon.
AmHe through baptismal grace us Eowns
AmHeirs of his Cwondrous salDvaEtiAmon.
AmWere we but Emtwo his Cname Gto Ctell,
AmYet he would Cdeign with Bus to Edwell
AmWith all his Fgrace and his EfaAmvor.
AmHere stands the font before our Eeyes,
AmTelling how CGod did recDeiEve Amus.
AmTh' altar recalls Christ's sacriEfice
AmAnd what the Csacrament DgiEves Amus.
AmHere sound the EmScriptures Cthat GproCclaim
AmChrist yesterCday, todBay, the Esame,
AmAnd everFmore, our ReEdeeAmmer.
AmGrant then, O God, your will be Edone,
AmThat, when the Cchurch bells are DriEngAming,
AmMany in saving faith may Ecome
AmWhere Christ his Cmessage is DbrEingAming
Am"I know my Emown; my Cown Gknow Cme.
AmYou, not the Cworld, my Bface shall Esee.
AmMy peace I Fleave with you EalAmways."

Built on the Rock the Church shall stand

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.

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.

We are God's house of living stones,

Am C D E Am

Built for his own habitation.

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."
