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]
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.

[3]
Here, gracious God, come now,
for evermore draw near;
accept each faithful vow,
and mark each earnest prayer;
in copious shower
on all who pray
each holy day
your blessings 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 called away.
