Building Blocks

Tune: Westminster Abbey

('Christ is made the sure foundation')

Ephesians 2 v.18-22

********

Through Christ, Jews and Gentiles both, we

Have access to [God the] Father, see

It be by the one Spirit sure

We not strangers anymore

But w fellow-citizens be

With the household of God free

 

And are built on the foundation

Stands firm unto each nation

Foundation of the apostles

And they who hear prophets calls

Jesus Christ He Himself being

Corner-stone of everything

 

In Him all the building, set, framed

Made up of those who have named

Him as Lord and Saviour, trusting

He their Redeemer and King

In Him all does together grow

To temple holy we know

 

In Him you also are being

Built together, there nothing

Nor anyone left out, all one

For to be habitation

Dwelling of God through His Spirit

Acceptable, perfect, fit
