VERSE 1
Christ is the foundation
Of the house we raise;
Be its walls salvation,
And its gateways praise:
May its threshold lowly
To the Lord be dear;
May the hearts be holy
That shall worship here.
VERSE 2
Here the vow be sealed
By Thy Spirit, Lord;
Here the sick be healed,
And the lost restored;
Here the broken-hearted
Thy forgiveness prove;
Here the friends long parted
Be restored to love.
VERSE 3
Here may every token
Of Thy precious be:
Here may chains be broken,
Prisoners here set free;
Here may light illumine
Every soul of Thine,
Lifting up the human
Into the divine.
VERSE 4
Here may God the Father,
Christ the Saviour - Son,
With the Holy Spirit,
Be adored as One;
Till the whole creation
At Thy footstool fall,
And in adoration
Own Thee Lord of all.
