Christ Is Our Cornerstone
Author: John Chandler Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #517 (1995) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Christ--Cornerstone, our Lyrics: 1 Christ is our cornerstone,
on him alone we build;
with his true saints alone
the courts of heav'n 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 now
for evermore draw near,
accept each faithful vow,
and ev'ry suppliant hear.
In copious show'r on all who pray
each holy day your blessings pour!
4 Here may we gain from heav'n
the grace which we implore;
and may that grace, once giv'n,
be with us evermore,
until that day when all the blessed
to endless rest are called away! Scripture: Psalm 118:22-24 Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL

For us to build our hopes upon,
That the fair Edifice may raise
Sublime in light beyond the skies?
2 We own the work of sovereign love;
Nor death nor hell these hopes shall move,
Which fix'd on this foundation stand,
Laid by thy own almighty hand.
3 Thy people long this stone have tried,
And all the powers of hell defy'd;
Floods of temptation beat in vain;
Well doth this rock the house sustain.
4 When storms of wrath around prevail,
Whirlwind and thunder, fire and hail,
'Tis here our trembling souls shall hide,
And here securely they abide:
5 While they that scorn this precious stone,
Fond of some Quicksand of their own,
Borne down by weighty vengeance die,
And buried deep in ruin lie.

Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the word.
From heav'n he came and sought her
To be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
And for her life he died.
2 Elect from ev'ry nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses
With ev'ry grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
this world sees her oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping;
Their cry goes up: “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore:
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blessed,
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth has union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
May live eternally.

1 Un solo fundamento
y un sólo un fundador
la santa iglesia tiene
en Cristo, su Señor.
Haciéndola su esposa,
del cielo descendió,
y por su propia sangre
su libertad compró.
2 Aunque es de muchas razas,
disfruta de unidad:
sólo una fe confiesa
en santa caridad;
es uno su bautismo,
un pan de santidad;
por gracia siempre espera
una felicidad.
3 El mundo la contempla
pasmado y con desdén:
de cismas desgarrada,
de error y por vaivén.
Mas *santos de vigilia
no cesan en su orar,
y pronto por la noche
oirán gozo y cantar.
4 Cercada de tumultos,
de guerra y confusión,
la paz eterna espera,
serena en su visión;
al fin, ya victoriosa,
la iglesia terrenal
recibe como premio
descanso celestial.
5 Mas ella aquí disfruta
celeste comunión
con Dios y con los santos
en paz y perfección.
Jesús, cabeza nuestra,
concéde por tu amor
que siempre contemplemos
tu rostro, Redentor.
