396. Christ is our corner-stone

Christ is our corner-stone,

On Him alone we build;

With His true saints above

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

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.

Here may we gp»in 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.
