Samuel Sebastian Wesley - Christ is our cornerstone - текст песни (слова)

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.
