Hymn 207
Christ is made the sure foundation
1. Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and corner – stone, 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, 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 always.
3. Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.
4. Laud and honourto the Father,
Laud and honour to the Son,
Laud and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Thee and ever One,
One in might, and one in glory,
While unending ages run.
