- 1Christ is made the sure foundation,
- Christ the head and cornerstone,
- Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
- Binding all the Church in one;
- Holy Zion's help for ever,
- And her confidence alone.
- 2All that dedicated city,
- Dearly loved of God on high,
- In exultant jubilation
- Pours perpetual melody;
- God the One in Thee adoring
- In glad hymns eternally.
- 3To this temple, where we call Thee,
- Come, O Lord of hosts, today:
- With Thy wonted loving-kindness,
- Hear Thy people as they pray;
- And Thy fullest benediction
- Shed within its walls alway.
- 4Here 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.
