Christ Is Our Cornerstone

Author: John Chandler (1806-1876) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #459 (1998) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Gathering of the Community Lyrics: 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, 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. 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.

Fair breaks the day with gladness, its light brings hope to all; O God of heaven, we bless you that we have heard your call. 2 The light of God is resting upon the encircling hills, pledge of the new day coming, hope for our wearied wills; long though the night, and fearful, the day reveals your power; O God of heaven, we thank you, our strong and mghty tower. 3 Fierce though the conflict rages, not yet the victory won; God give us strength ane courage until our task is done. The foe moves out against us, his hosts in grim array; O God of heaven, we pray you: Revive our cause today! 4 Rise up, O church to action! Take up the cause of right; the foe is strong, but stronger are you in heaven's might: with joy we hear the challenge and answer to your call; O God of heaven, your kingdom shall triumph over all.
