Christ is our cornerstone,

1.

Christ is our cornerstone,

On Him alone we build;

With his true saints alone

The courts of Heaven are filled.

On his great love

Our hopes we place

Of present grace

And joys above.

2.

Oh, then, with hymns of praise

These hallowed courts shall ring;

Our voices we will raise

The Three in One to sing

And thus proclaim

In joyful song,

Both loud and long,

That glorious name.

3.

Here, gracious God, do now

And evermore draw near;

Accept each faithful vow,

And every suppliant hear.

In copious shower

On all who pray

Each holy day

Your blessing pour.

4.

Here may we gain from heaven

The grace which we implore,

And may that grace, once given,

Be with us evermore

Until that day

When all the blest

To endless rest

Are call’d away.
