Have you heard the day is coming?
When the things our hearts have loved –
Dust and ashes ever-failing –
Will be seen for what they are
Can you hear a voice now calling?
Saying, "This is not the end
Come and walk new ways of blessing
And sing a new song to our Lord"
He's the rock of our salvation
We will trust and be not afraid
He's the sure and firm foundation
When every other ground gives way
Have you heard the condemnation?
Who could pay the dreadful price?
But, look, the silent suffering servant
Took on death to give us life!
He's the rock of our salvation
We will trust and be not afraid
He's the sure and firm foundation
When every other ground gives way
Can you hear the voice of splendour?
Calling out "whom shall I send
To be a light to every nation?"
"Send me Lord God, here I am!"
He's the rock of our salvation
We will trust and be not afraid
He's the sure and firm foundation
When every other ground gives way
The former things will be forgotten
A new creation descends at last
All fear and loss will be no more
All grief and sorrow and tears will pass
The former things will be forgotten
A new creation descends at last
All fear and loss will be no more
All grief and sorrow and tears will pass
Mountains and trees will clap their hands
We'll enter Zion with songs of joy
And every eye will see his glory
Our king exalted forevermore
He's the rock of our salvation
We will trust and be not afraid
He's the sure and firm foundation
When every other ground gives way
He's the Rock of our Salvation
Soon our hearts will be renewed
Crowned in everlasting gladness
And Jesus' splendour fills our view
