CHRIST IS MADE THE SURE FOUNDATION

​

Christ is made the sure foundation,

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.

John Mason Neale (1818-1866)

​

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.

To this temple, where we call you,

come, O Lord of hosts, and stay;

come with all your loving kindness,

hear your people as they pray;

and your fullest benediction

speak within these walls today.

​

Grant, we pray, to all your faithful

all the gifts they ask to gain;

what they gain from you forever

with the blessed to retain;

And hereafter in your glory

evermore with you to reign.

​

Praise and honour to the Father,

praise and honour to the Son,

praise and honour to the Spirit,

ever three and ever one:

one in might and one in glory

while unending ages run!

John Mason Neale (1818-1866)
