Text Based On Isaiah Chapter 28 (KJV)
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold,
I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone,
a precious corner stone, a sure foundation:
he that believeth shall not make haste.

Christ Is Made The Sure Foundation
1.
Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone;
Chosen of the LORD, and precious,
Binding all the Church in one,
Holy Zion’s help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2.
All that dedicated city,
Dearly loved of God on high,
In exultant jubilation,
Pours perpetual melody,
God the One in Three adoring-
In glad hymns eternally.
3.
To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
With Thy wonted loving kindness-
Hear Thy servants as they pray.
And Thy fullest benediction-
Shed within its walls alway.
4.
Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants-
What they ask of Thee to gain;
What they gain from Thee forever-
With the blessèd to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory-
Evermore with Thee to reign.
A blessèd Seventh Day Sabbath, to all believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
