The Church's one foundation
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: J. Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Corner-stone and Consecration Used With Tune: GLORIOUS THINGS
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Jesu! where'er Thy people meet
Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 515 hymnals Topics: Corner-stone and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Jesu! where'er Thy people meet,
There they behold Thy mercy-seat;
Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found,
And ev'ry place is hallowed ground.
2 And since within no walls confined,
Thou dwellest in the humble mind:
Let all within Thy house who come,
Departing, take Thee to their home.
3 Yet everywhere Thou guid'st Thine own
To raise for Thee an earthly throne;
And where Thy Name Thou dost record,
There Thou wilt come and bless them, Lord!
[4* Behold at Thy commanding word,
We stretch the curtain and the cord;
Come Thou and fill this wider space,
And bless us with a large increase.]
5 Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few,
Thy former mercies here renew;
And here to wayward hearts proclaim
The sweetness of Thy saving Name!
6 Here may we prove the might of prayer,
To strengthen faith and sweeten care:
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heaven before our eyes!
7 Here to the babe new-born on earth,
Grant Thou the newer, better birth;
By water and the Holy Ghost
Restoring all that Adam lost.
8 Here to the weary, hungry, soul,
Give Thou the gift that maketh whole;
The bread that is Christ's flesh, for food,
The wine that is the Saviour's blood.
9 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near;
Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear;
Oh, rend the heavens, come quickly down,
And make a thousand hearts Thine own!
Amen.

Jesu! where'er Thy people meet
Spirit divine, attend our prayers
Author: A. Reed Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 393 hymnals Topics: Corner-stone and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
Oh, come, great Spirit, come!
2 Come as the light; to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe:
And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.
3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts
Like sacrificial flame;
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's Name.
4 Come as the dove, and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let Thy Church on earth become
Blest as Thy Church above.
5 Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
Make a lost world Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
Oh, come, great Spirit, come!
Amen. Used With Tune: TIVERTON

O 'twas a joyful sound to hear
Christ is our corner-stone
Author: J. Chandler Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Corner-stone and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Christ is our corner-stone,
On Him alone we build:
With His true saints alone
The courts of heav'n are filled;
On His great love our hopes we place,
Of present grace and joys above.
2 Oh, 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.
Amen. Used With Tune: HAREWOOD
Christ is our corner-stone
In loud exalted strains

In loud exalted strains
O what, if we are Christ's
Author: H. W. Baker Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: Processionals Corner-stone and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Oh, what, if we are Christ's,
Is earthly shame or loss?
Bright shall the crown of glory be
When we have borne the cross.
2 Keen was the trial once,
Bitter the cup of woe,
When martyred saints, baptized in blood,
Christ's sufferings shared below.
3 Bright is their glory now,
Boundless their joy above,
Where, on the bosom of their God,
They rest in perfect love.
4 Lord, may that grace be ours,
Like them in faith to bear
All that of sorrow, grief, or pain,
May be our portion here:
5 Enough, if Thou at last
The word of blessing give,
And let us rest beneath Thy feet,
Where saints and angels live.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL
O what, if we are Christ's
