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, 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. 4. 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. Used With Tune: ST.
