Tune: Westminster Abbey
('Christ is made the sure foundation')
1 Peter 2 v.4-10 parts
*******
It is written in the scripture
I lay in Sion stone sure
A chief corner stone, it chosen
Precious it be, now, since when
It was laid, and who do believe
Comfort, not shame, shall receive
To you therefore who do believe
Christ is precious, no deceive
But to those who do not obey
They do stumble in the way
For that stone ,that rock to them be
Stone of offence, stumbling, see
But you believers are, as one
A chosen generation
A royal priesthood, a holy
Nation, even so you be
And God's special people, that you
Should show His praises anew
The praises of the LORD, for He
Has called you from darkness, we
Called into His marvellous light
Radiant beams banish night
One time we were not a people
Now we be God's people all
And one time we had not obtained
Mercy, not kindness unfeigned
Btu now have obtained God's mercy
Praise and honour to Him be
Built on Christ, the chief corner stone
Salvation in Him alone

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7.8.7. metre. Snap! Same tune name and place. It happened to me too a few years ago at a service there, but I'm not in this clip!
