We’ll Build on the Rock Lyrics.
FE Belden
We’ll build on the rock, the living Rock,
On Jesus, the Rock of Ages;
So shall we abide the fearful shock,
When loud the tempest rages.
Refrain
We’ll build on the Rock,
We’ll build on the Rock;
We’ll build on the Rock, on the solid Rock,
On Christ, the mighty Rock.
Some build on the sinking sands of life,
On visions of earthly treasure;
Some build on the waves of sin and strife,
Of fame, and worldly pleasure.
Refrain
O build on the Rock, forever sure,
The firm and the true foundation;
Its hope is the hope which shall endure,
The hope of our salvation.

We’ll Build on the Rock History
We Will Build on the Rock, The Living Rock is a hymn that was composed by Franklin Edson Belden in 1886.
It draws its inspiration from Matthew 7:24 where Jesus says, “Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock”.
Franklin E Belden was a prolific Seventh-day Adventist hymn writer whose other hymns include, Judgment Has Set. He left the Seventh-day Adventist church in 1907 due to disagreements over royalties for the songs that he composed and were included in official church hymnals.
