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 Zion’s help for ever, 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. 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. 4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants what they ask of thee of gain; what they gain from thee, for ever with the blessed to retain, and hereafter in thy glory evermore with thee to reign. 5 Laud and honor to the Father, laud and honor to the Son, laud and honor to the Spirit, ever Three, and ever One, con-substantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.
