Christ, our Head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the Church in one,
Holy Zion's help forever
And our confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call You,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With your steadfast loving kindness,
Hear Your servants as they pray;
And Your fullest benediction
Shed in all its brightest ray.
3 Here bestow on all Your servants
What they ask of You to gain;
What they gain from You, forever
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! Scripture: Psalm 118:22 Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY
