Christ the head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion's help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call you,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, today!
With your wonted loving-kindness
Hear your people as they pray,
And your fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
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 Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One;
One in might, and One in glory,
While unending ages run.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-21 Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Latin Hymn, ca. 7th century
