[graphic]

2 Let thy holy Child, who came Man from error to reclaim, And for sinners to atone,

Bless, with thee, this corner stone. 3 May thy Spirit here give rest

To the heart by sin oppressed,
And the seeds of truth be sown,
Where we lay this corner stone.

[blocks in formation]

4 Open wide, O God, thy door
For the outcast and the poor,
Who can call no house their own,
Where we lay this corner stone.
5 By wise master-builders squared,
Here be living stones prepared
For the temple near thy throne,
Jesus Christ its Corner Stone.

JOHN PIERPONT

From LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

[graphic]

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.
3 Endue the creatures with thy grace
That shall adorn thy dwelling place;
The beauty of the oak and pine,
The gold and silver, make them thine.

4 To thee they all belong; to thee
The treasures of the earth and sea;
And when we bring them to thy throne
We but present thee with thine own.

5 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.
JOHN M. NEALE
