Oh, Where Are Kings And Empires Now
Of Old, That Went And Came?
But Lord, Thy Church Is Praying Yet,
A Thousand Years The Same.
We Mark Her Goodly Battlements
And Her Foundations Strong;
We Hear, Within, The Solemn Voice
Of Her Unending Song.
For Not Like Kingdoms Of The World
Thy Holy Church, O God,
Though Earthquake Shocks Are Threatening Her,
And Tempests Are Abroad.
Unshaken As Eternal Hills,
Immovable She Stands,
A Mountain That Shall Fill The Earth,
A House Not Made By Hands
