Christ is our cornerstone
Author: Anonymous; John Chandler, 1806-1876 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #729 (2010) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Christ is our cornerstone,
on him alone we build;
with his true saints alone
the courts of heaven are filled:
on his great love
our hopes we place
of present grace
and joys above.
2 O then with hymns of praise
these hallowed courts shall ring;
our voices we will raise
the Three in One to sing;
and thus proclaim
in joyful song,
both loud and long,
that glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do thou
for evermore draw nigh;
accept each faithful vow,
and mark each suppliant sigh;
in copious shower
on all who pray
each holy day
thy blessings pour.
4 Here may we gain from heaven
the grace which we implore;
and may that grace, once given,
be with us evermore,
until that day
when all the blest
to endless rest
are called away. Scripture: Ephesians 2:20 Languages: English Tune Title: HAREWOOD

the swallows find a nest;
how happy they who dwell with thee
and praise thee without rest,
and happy those whose hearts are set
upon the pilgrim's quest.
3 They who go through the desert vale
will find it filled with springs,
and they shall climb from height to height
till Zion's temple rings
with praise to thee, in glory throned,
Lord God, great King of kings.

a thousand spent away;

there they behold thy mercy-seat;
where'er they seek thee, thou art found,

such ever bring thee when they come,
and, going, take thee to their home.

thy former mercies here renew;
here to our waiting hearts proclaim
the sweetness of thy saving name.

and make a thousand hearts thine own.

rejoicing choirs of angels sing;

the host of heaven their praises bring:
disdain not, Lord, our meaner song,
who praise thee with a faltering tongue.

sweet notes employ.

spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care;
for young and old, for commonwealth and nation,
Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer.

loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain,
hungry and helpless, lost indeed without him,
Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign.

self on the cross and Christ upon the throne;

my panting heart and flesh cry out
for thee, the living God.

'tis better to attend,
than, Lord, in any place besides
a thousand days to spend.

how highly blest are they
who in thy temple always dwell,
and there thy praise display!

Our Father, by whose servants

our house was built of old,
whose hand hath crowned her children
with blessing manifold,
for thine unfailing mercies
far strewn along our way,
with all who passed before us,
we praise thy name today.
2 The changeful years unresting
their silent course have sped,
new comrades ever bringing
in comrades’ steps to tread;
and some are long forgotten,
long spent their hopes and fears;
safe rest they in thy keeping,
who changest not with years.
3 They reap not where they laboured;
we reap what they have sown;
our harvest may be garnered
by ages yet unknown.
The days of old have dowered us
with gifts beyond all praise;
our Father, make us faithful
to serve the coming days. Languages: English Tune Title: WOLVERCOTE

in the land of light and love;
pleasant are thy courts below
in this land of sin and woe;
Oh, my spirit longs and faints
for the converse of thy saints,
for the brightness of thy face,
for thy fullness, God of grace.
2 Happy birds that sing and fly
round thy altars, O most high;
happier souls that find a rest
in a heavenly Father's breast;
like the wandering dove that found
no repose on earth around,
they can to their ark repair,
and enjoy it ever there.
3 Happy souls, their praises flow
even in this vale of woe;
waters in the desert rise,
manna feeds them from the skies,
on they go from strength to strength,
till they reach thy throne at length,
at thy feet adoring fall,
who hast led them safe through all.
4 Lord, be mine this prize to win,
guide me through a world of sin,
keep me by thy saving grace,
give me at thy side a place;
sun and shield alike thou art,
guide and guard my erring heart;
grace and glory flow from thee;
shower, O shower them, Lord, on me. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: MAIDSTONE
Pleasant are thy courts above
