- 1The kingdoms of earth pass away one by one,But the kingdom of heaven remains; it is built on a rock and the lord is its King,Till all foes Christ shall conquer He reigns.It shall stand, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)Forever and ever and ever, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)Forever and ever, Amen and Amen.
- 2The tempest may rage and the hurricane roar,Yes, the wind and the torrents descend,And the strong gates of hell may assail it in vain,For the kingdom shall stand till the end.It shall stand, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)Forever and ever and ever, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)Forever and ever, Amen and Amen.
- 3The kingdom of God is now open to all,E'en the vilest may now enter in;There's a welcome for all who will turn to the lord,Full salvation and pardon for sin.It shall stand, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)Forever and ever and ever, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)It shall stand, (It shall stand,)Forever and ever, Amen and Amen.
