Christ is made the sure Foundation,
And the precious corner-stone,
Who, the two walls underlying,
Bound in each, binds both in one,
Holy Sion’s help for ever,
And her confidence alone.
All that dedicated loved by god on high,
In exultant jubilation
Pours perpetual melody,
God the one, in Threefold glory,
Singing everlasting.
To this temple, here we call thee,
Come. O Lord of hosts, today;
With they wonted loving-kindness,
Hear thy people as they pray;
And they fullest benediction
Shed within its walls for ay.
Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
Gifts of grace by prayer to gain
Here to have and hold for ever,
Those good things their prayer obtain,
And hereafter, in thy glory
With thy blesséd ones to reign.
Laud and honour to the Father
Laud and honour to the Son
Laud and honour to the Holy Spirit
Ever three and ever one,
One in Love, and one in Splendour,
While unending ages run. Amen
