Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#297

297. Builder of Mighty Worlds on Worlds

1 Builder of mighty worlds on worlds,
How poor the house must be,
That with our human, sinful hands
We may erect for Thee.

2 O Christ, Thou art our Corner-stone;
On thee our hopes are built;
Thou art our Lord, our Light, our Life,
Our Sacrifice for guilt.

3 In Thy blest Name we gather here,
And consecrate the ground.
The walls that on this rock shall rise
Thy praises shall resound.
