Sheet music
- 1O if my house is built upon a rock,I know it will stand for ever;The floods may come and the rolling thunder shockMay beat upon my houseThat is built upon a rock,And ‘twill never fall, Never fall,Never, never, never;Its foundation is sure,And will stand for evermore,Yes, it will stand for ever.
- 2For He whose truth is lasting as the hills,Whose word is unchanging ever;Hath said my house on the solid rock shall stand;He’ll hold it by His mightIn the hollow of His hand,And ‘twill never fall, Never fall,Never, never, never;Its foundation is sure,And will stand for evermore,Yes, it will stand for ever.
