1  Christ is our cornerstone,
 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.
