Hymn 892
Christ is made the sure foundation
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.
1
Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and corner-stone,
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Blinding all the Church in one,
Holy Zion’s help for ever,
And her confidence alone.
2
To this Temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With Thy wonted loving-kindness
Hear Thy people as they pray;
And thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
3
Mere vouchsafe to all thy servants
What they ask of thee to gain;
What they gain from thee forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in thy glory
Evermore with thee to reign.
4
Praise and honour to the Father,
Praise and honour to the Son,
Praise and honour to the Spirit,
Ever three and ever one;
One in might and one in glory,
While unending ages run.
