Religion

Jesus, by Thine almighty hands
The church's sure foundation stands
Deep-laid in every humble heart:
Thou art our Saviour and our Prince,
Who giv'st the sense of pardon'd sins,
The Author of our faith Thou art.

Thou, Lord, its Finisher shalt be;
The sacred house begun by Thee,
Shall soon to full perfection rise:
Thou wilt fulfil Thy people's hope.
And build Thy living temples up.
By holiest love to reach the skies.
