We Worship Christ the Cornerstone

“…you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone…”

Ephesians 2:20-21

We worship Christ, the Cornerstone,

Who made us one in him alone!

Not Jew nor Gentile, bond nor free,

This commonwealth of unity.           

Our Lord has from the two made one,

And with his blood our peace has won.

 

Brought near in Christ, the Prince of Peace,

Our envy, strife, and warfare cease;

For tribes and tongues, and strangers all,

Our Peace has broken down the wall;

New covenant mercy he extends

To us his fellow heirs and friends.

 

One faith, one hope of heav’n above,

A unity of holy love;

One body made of many parts,

A unity of loving hearts;

One temple built of cast-off stone,

Made holy by the Holy One.

 

To Jesus Christ we lift one voice— 

The household of our Father’s choice—

Whose love makes ours for others grow

And makes the watching world to know

That our abiding Cornerstone

Has made us one in Christ alone!
