3 Here build your Faith, your Hope, and all Your Comforts too likewise; Then let Winds blow, ye never shall Fall by your Enemies.
4 But woe to such who lay aside This precious Corner-stone, And build on works through their great pride, Their hopes will soon be gone.
5 All build do on the Sands be sure, Or no Foundation have, Who don't true Faith of God procure, Their precious Souls to save.

6 O blessed Zion thou art strong, For God hath founded thee Upon a Rock, that none can wrong, Thou ruined canst not be.
