CHRIST is our corner-stone, 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 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 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 called away.
