Corner-Stone

Verse 1

Lord dost thouswhew a corner-stone, For us to build our hopes upon, That the fair edifice may rise Sublime in light beyond the skies?

Verse 2

Thy people long this stone have try'd, And all the pow'rs of hell defy'd. Floods of temptation beat in vain; Well doth this rock the house sustain.

Verse 3

When storms and tempests round prevail, Whirlwind and thunder, fire and hail; 'Tis here our trembling souls shall hide, And securely they abide.
