Thou, Who Hast In Zion Laid
The True Foundation-Stone,
And With Those A Covenant Made,
Who Build On That Alone:
Hear Us, Architect Divine,
Great Builder Of Thy Church Below!
Now Upon Thy Servants Shine,
Who Seeketh Praise To Show.
Earth Is Thine; Her Thousand Hills
Thy Mighty Hand Sustains;
Heaven Thy Awful Presence Fills;
Over All Thy Glory Reigns:
Yet The Place Of Old Prepared
By Regal David’s Favoured Son
Thy Peculiar Blessing Shared,
And Stood Thy Chosen Throne.
We, Like Jesse’s Son, Would Raise
A Temple To The Lord;
Sound Throughout Its Courts His Praise,
His Saving Name Record;
Dedicate A House To Him,
Who, Once In Mortal Weakness Shrined,
Sorrowed, Suffered, To Redeem,
To Rescue All Mankind.
Father, Son, And Spirit, Send
The Consecrating Flame;
Now In Majesty Descend,
Inscribe The Living Name;
That Great Name By Which We Live
Now Write On This Accepted Stone;
Us Into Thy Hands Receive,
Thou Who Hast In Zion Laid title, Thou Who Hast In Zion Laid title, Thou Who Hast In Zion Laid title, Thou Who Hast In Zion Laid lyrics,
