OUR Rock with loving care, According to His word, Bids all His bounty share; Then let us bless the Lord. His flock our Shepherd feeds With graciousness divine; He satisfies our needs With gifts of bread and wine. Therefore with one accord We will His name adore, Proclaiming evermore Holy, holy is the Lord. Our Rock, etc. The land desired so long, Our fathers' heritage, Inspires our prayer and song To God from age to age. His bounteous gifts afford Our sustenance each day, His mercy is our stay, Yea, faithful in the Lord. Our Rock, etc. O be Thy mercy moved, Our Rock, to dwell with us, With Zion, Thy beloved, Our temple glorious May we redeemed, restored, Be led there every one By David's holy son, The Anointed of the Lord. Our Rock, etc. Thy city built once more, Thy temple walls uprising, There will we adore With joyful songs of praise Thee, merciful, adored, We bless and sanctify With wine-cups filled up high, By blessing of the Lord.
