282. Christ is our Cornerstone

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
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.

Amen.
