Christ, our abiding Cornerstone,

Passover Lamb once slain,

His blood has drowned what sin had sown

In righteous, crimson rain.

Death has no vict'ry nor a sting,

Hushed is the Law's fierce roar;

Ours is the triumph by the King

Who reigns forevermore.

(1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 & 55-57, Romans 5:9, Isaiah 53:5)

2.

Christ, our abiding Cornerstone

Upon the sinking sand,

Fits us to rest before His throne,

On earth, to firmly stand.

By holy flame, as gold refined,

He burns away the dross;

His chosen treasure He has mined,

Unearthed upon the cross.

(1 Corinthians 3:11-15, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, James 1:12, Malachi 3:2-3, 1 Peter 1:6-7)

3.

Christ, our abiding Cornerstone,

Our blessed cup and bread,

Into one Body binds His own,

Crowned hence is He, the Head.

Stone laid on stone, our Lord will build,

His Spirit will abide;

God's house, in covenant, is sealed,

His temple, unified.

(1 Corinthians 10:16-17, 1 Corinthians 11:3, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Ephesians 2:20-22, 1 Peter 2:4-5)

4.

Christ, our abiding Cornerstone

In whom all worth is found,

May voices raised to make Him known

Through every land resound:

“As stars by Your decree burn bright

And summer flow'rs You dress,

O make Your Church a tow'ring light

Adorned with righteousness.”

(1 Corinthians 1:30-31, Matthew 5:14-16, Philippians 2:15, Isaiah 61:10)
