Standing on the Rock of Ages

By William Brickey

WILLIAM BRICKEY
STANDING on the Rock of Ages? Praise the Lord! Stand with martyrs, seers, and sages: Praise the Lord.
Should you suffer persecution For some sacred institution, Then with patient resolution Praise the Lord.
Do you meet with fierce temptation? Praise the Lord. It will work for your salvation: Praise the Lord.
We are purified by trial, And a bit of self-denial Sweetens, much, the bitter vial: Praise the Lord.
Are you shedding tears of sorrow? Praise the Lord. They will bring you peace to-morrow: Praise the Lord.
For it is our firm conviction That, with God's sure benediction, We are sweetened by affliction: Praise the Lord.
