Firmly stand for God, in the world's mad strife,

Firmly stand for God, in the world's mad strife,
Though the bleak winds roar, and the waves beat high :
‘Tis the Rock alone giveth strength and life,
When the hosts of sin are nigh.

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.

2 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.

3 Firmly stand for Truth ! it will serve you best ;
Though it waiteth long, it is sure at last ;
'Tis the Rock alone giveth peace and rest
When the storms of life are past.
