His Fullness Songs ‎#96

96. O Man and Woman!

1 O man and woman, maid and youth,
Come, build your hopes on solid truth;
Trust not a base of sinking sand;
Build on the Rock, thy house to stand.

2 Be not of those whose vain display
Of grandeur lasteth but a day;
Dig deep and found upon the Rock;
Then thou canst stand the tempest's shock.

3 Build not with what will perish soon;
But silver, gold and precious stone
Use in thy building 'stead of hay;
There comes a burning judgment day.

4 Dig deep, build well, take time and see
That thine is solid piety,
That truth alone thy heart inspire;
Then do not dread the judgment fire.
