Christ Is Our Cornerstone

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.

O 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.

Here, gracious God, do Thou Forevermore 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 called away.
