Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Journeysongs (2nd ed.) #780 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 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 Sion's help for ever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call you,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With your wonted 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 blessed to retain,
And hereafter in your glory,
Evermore with you to reign.
4 Praise and honor to the Father,
Praise and honor to the Son,
Praise and honor to the Spirit,
Ever three and ever one,
One in might and one in glory,
While unending ages run. Topics: Church; Faith; Unity; Church; Faith; Unity; Church; Faith; Unity Scripture: 1 Kings 9:3 Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY
