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.
Oh, then, with hymns of praise
These hallow’d courts shall ring:
Our voices we will raise,
The Three in One to sin;
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.
