1 O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
The bounds of the eternal hills,
And yet vouchsafst, in Christian lands,
To dwell in temples made with hands.
The bounds of the eternal hills,
And yet vouchsafst, in Christian lands,
To dwell in temples made with hands.
2 Grant that all we, who here to-day
Rejoicing this foundation lay,
May be in very deed Thine own,
Built on the precious corner-stone.
Rejoicing this foundation lay,
May be in very deed Thine own,
Built on the precious corner-stone.
3 The heads that guide endue with skill,
The hands that work preserve from ill,
That we, who these foundations lay,
May raise the topstone in its day.
The hands that work preserve from ill,
That we, who these foundations lay,
May raise the topstone in its day.
