Tune: | CHRIST CHURCH |
Composer: | Richard Dirksen |
1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the Head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Sion's help forever,
And her confidence alone;
Holy Sion's help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2 All that dedicated city,
Dearly loved of God on high,
In exultant jubilation
Pours perpetual melody;
God the One in Three adoring
In glad hymns eternally;
God the One in Three adoring
In glad hymns eternally.
3 To this temple, where we call thee,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
With thy wonted loving-kindness,
Hear thy servants as they pray,
And thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway;
And thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
What they ask of thee to gain;
What they gain from thee for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in thy glory
Evermore with thee to reign;
And hereafter in thy glory
Evermore with thee to reign.
