, SECT. V.] HYMNS. 175, 176
i When I soar to worlds unknown.
See thee on thy judgment throne,
, Rock of ages shelter me.
Let me hide myself in thee.
175.
; Christ, the Rock, or Foundation of his Church.
1 /^HRIST is the sure foundation-stone
| ^ Which God in Sion lays.
We build our hope on him alone,
To him ascribe the praise.
2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear.
Who know nis precious name;
They place their whole salvation here,
'}■ Nor shall they suffer shame.
;-3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain ;
Yet on this rock the church shall rest.
And Satan rage in vain.
■4 What tho’ the gates of hell withstood.
Yet must this building rise :
’Tis thy own work, Almighty God,
And wondrbus in our eyes.
176.
The Shepherd. Psalm xxiii.
1 HPHE Lord my shepherd is,
*- 1 shall be well supplied;
Since he is mine, and I am his.
What can I want beside ?
2 He leads me to the place
Where heav’nly pasture grows.
Where living waters gently pass.
And full salvation flows.
3 If e’er I go astray.
He doth my soul reclaim,
