Hymns and church songs with stones, rocks, or related ideas

 Rocks in songs and hymns

A previous post listed important Bible passages about stones or rocks, chosen from a few hundred occurrences in the Bible. This post lists songs and hymns that include the word stone, or the word, rock, or a related idea.

“Rock of Ages”

“The Lord’s Our Rock, in Him we hide”

“Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” includes the phrase “Here I raise my Ebenezer.” This comes from 1 Samuel 7:12 “Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Yahweh helped us until now.”

“My Hope is built on nothing less” has this phrase: “On Christ, the solid rock I stand …”

“Behold the Sure Foundation Stone” -- note: I am not familiar with this one, but an on-line search turned it up, so I included it.

“A Wonderful Savior is Jesus, My Lord,” includes the phrase “He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock.”

Thanks for reading, and, possibly, singing or humming.
