246:Christ is made the sure foundation
Tunes: | Westminster Abbey, 409 |
Meter: | 8.7.8.7.8.7. Trochaic |
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 To this temple, we implore you,
Come, great Lord of hosts, today;
Come with all your loving kindness,
Hear your servants as they pray,
And your fullest benediction
Shed in all its brightest ray.
3 Grant, we pray, to all your people
All the grace they ask to gain;
What they gain from you for ever
With the blessèd to retain,
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.
4 Praise and honour to the Father,
Praise and honour to the Son,
Praise and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One:
Unified in power and glory,
While unending ages run.
