Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIJ| The well built house with walls of brick or stone | A |
| May tremble some if struck by the cyclone | A |
| The most established saint may trials feel | B |
| As flint may turn the edge of finest steel | B |
| Satanic hosts may rush in like a flood | C |
| Allied with foes of our own flesh and blood | C |
| The elements of earth and hell combine | D |
| Yet tho' he trembles stands in strength divine | D |
| He rests secure on the unyielding rock | E |
| The top may sway but base feels not the shock | E |
| His heart is fixed nor earth nor hell can move | F |
| They wrench not loose but his allegiance prove | F |
| Christ wept with Mary at her brother's grave | G |
| Laid down His life a rebel world to save | G |
| Tried like ourselves and like us too infirm | H |
| Yet knew no sin in either root or germ | H |
| Let us be like Him while we sojourn here | I |
| Then storms and earthquakes we need never fear | J |
