1. O where are kings and empires Now of old that went and came? But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. 2. We mark her goodly battlements, And her foundation strong; We hear within the solemn voice Of her unending song.

3. For not like kingdoms of the world Thy holy Church, O God; Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad; 4. Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made of hands.
