Who can call no house their own,
Where we lay this cornerstone.
BY wise master-builders squared,
Here be living stones prepared
For the temple near thy throne;-
Jesus Christ its cornerstone.

love thy kingdom, Lord
The house Of thine abode
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With his own precious blood.
l love thy Church, o Godl
Her walls before thee stand,
Dear as the apple of thine eye,
And craven on thy hand.
For her my tears shall fall;
For her my prayers aseend
To her my cares and tolls be given,
Till tolls and cares shall end
Beyond my highest Joy
prize her heavenly WaVs:
Her sweet communion, solemn vows.
Her hymns of love and praise.
