Hymn 893

Christ is our Cornerstone

Meter: S.M.D.

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

Oh 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.
