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.
