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 forever,
And her confidence alone.
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.
Laud and honor to the Creator
Laud and honor to the Son
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever three and ever one,
One in might, and one in glory,
While unending ages run.
