With joyful hands, to-day,
This Corner-Stone we lay
With Corn and Wine :
But do thou build up one,
Wrought in the living stone
Of our true hearts alone.
Master Divine.
Saviour Omnipotent,
Crown Thou our good intent,
With grace of Thine :
Honor this stone we rear ;
And when thou shalt appear,
Save us who gather here,
Master Divine.
