by Latin hymn · translated by John Mason Neale

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 235.

Verse 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 our confidence alone.

Verse 2

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 Shed within these walls today.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 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 on in glory While unending ages run!
