<td><em>Words:</em> <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_c_o_coxe_ac.html" target="_blank">Arthur Cleveland Coxe</a>, 1839. At the general conference of the Evangelical Alliance in New York City in 1873, President Woolsey of Yale University quoted the first stanza of this hymn while speaking of the world’s skeptical attitude toward prayer. The applause was thunderous.

|
<p>O where are kings and empires now<br>
|
|
Of old, that went and came?<br>
|
|
But Lord, Thy Church is praying yet,<br>
|
|
A thousand years the same.</p>
|
|
<p>We mark her goodly battlements<br>
|
|
And her foundations strong;<br>
|
|
We hear, within, the solemn voice<br>
|
|
Of her unending song.</p>
|
|
<p>For not like kingdoms of the world<br>
|
|
Thy holy Church, O God,<br>
|
|
Though earthquake shocks are threat’ning her,<br>
|
|
And tempests are abroad.</p>
|
|
<p>Unshaken as eternal hills,<br>
|
|
Immovable she stands,<br>
|
|
A mountain that shall fill the earth,<br>
|
|
A house not made by hands.</p>
