Christ Is Our Corner-Stone
}
Christ is our corner-stone,
On Him alone we build;
With His true Saints alone
The courts of Heav'n are fill'd:
On His great love
Our hopes we place
Of present grace
And joys above.

Oh, then with hymns of praise
These hallow'd 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.

Here, gracious God, do Thou
For evermore draw nigh;
Accept each faithful vow,
And mark each suppliant sigh;
In copious shower
On all who pray
Each holy day
Thy blessings pour.

Here may we gain from Heav'n
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.
