Author: Rev. John Chandler Hymnal: The Hymnal #472 (1950) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner Stone,
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.
Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Laying of a Corner Stone; Corner Stone Laying Tune Title: UNITY
