Petra

On this one house                                                                                                            
Not to be struck twice only once                                                                                  
Ever a hiding place for one and all                                                                               
Surely a pillow anointed with oil                                                                                    
The shepherd of Israel fullness of fruit                                                                           
On this built Zion no other foundation laid                                                                        
No rock like our living God others ground sand washed awry                                           
Even the mountain Jesus we cry grace grace to thee
