CHORUS
On this earth we're merely pilgrims, and we are absent from you,
But we are hoping you bless us;
To be in your kingdom, very close to you.
2
This flock of people which you have selected,
They were once lost in this world without light;
Now they have life in the name which is holy,
King of the heavens our glorious Christ.

3
The vestments that you have gone to prepare us,
They're brightly shining with splendorous light;
You will bestow them above in your kingdom,
And you will crown us, oh, most glorious Lord.
4
This congregation of people united,
The Holy Spirit of God made it so;
Before His presence they'll be reunited,
As they give glories to your name, oh, Lord.

Rock of all eternity, thou hast been opened just for me,
Be my refuge and my shield, thou the only peace I know;
Rock of all eternity, thou hast been opened just for me,
Such a rich and crystal fount, I was washed within thy flow.
CHORUS
Here the world seeks to seduce me, with it's vain folly and strife,
My Lord offers unto me now, the immortal crown of life;
I leave this world and its pleasures, all my earthly friends and kin,
Be my refuge and my shield, rock of all eternity.
2
While I live upon this Earth, in life or death I will love thee,
Until one day I must stand in the Righteous Courts of God;
While I live upon this Earth, in life or death I will love thee,
Be my refuge and my shield, rock of all eternity.
