  1. 1Christ is our Cornerstone,
  2. On Him alone we build;
  3. With His true saints alone
  4. The courts of heav'n are filled,
  5. On His great love our hopes we place
  6. Of present grace and joys above.
  7. 2O then with hymns of praise
  8. These hallowed courts shall ring;
  9. Our voices we will raise
  10. The Three in One to sing.
  11. And thus proclaim in joyful song,
  12. Both loud and long, that glorious Name.
  13. 3Here, gracious God, do Thou
  14. For evermore draw nigh;
  15. Accept each faithful vow,
  16. And mark each suppliant sigh;
  17. In copious shower on all who pray,
  18. Each holy day Thy blessings pour.
  19. 4Here may we gain from heaven
  20. The grace which we implore;
  21. And may that grace, once given,
  22. Be with us evermore;
  23. Until that day when all the blest
  24. To endless rest are called away.
