Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one;
holy Zion's help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
2 All that dedicated city,
dearly loved of God on high,
in exultant jubilation
pours perpetual melody;
God the One-in-Three adoring
in glad hymns eternally.
3 To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of hosts, today;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee forever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.
5 Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever three, and ever one,
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church; Gathering of the Community; Ordination Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY Text Sources: Latin (7th cent.)

Lord of creation, merciful and mighty,
Hear now your servants, when their tuneful voices

This is none other than the gate of heaven;
Strangers and pilgrims, seeking homes eternal,
Pass through its portals.
3 Lord, we beseech you, as we throng your temple,
By your past blessings, by your present bounty,
Smile on your children, and with tender mercy
Hear our petitions.
4 God in Three Persons, Father everlasting,
