Henry Purcell - Christ is made the sure foundation
Ecumenical Celebration at Westminster Abbey, City of Westminster, 17 September 2010
Christ is made the sure foundation
Words: Latin, c7th--8th century, translated by John Mason Neale
Music: Henry Purcell
Sung by: Westminster Abbey Choir
Text:
Christ is made the sure foundation,
and the precious corner-stone,
who, the two walls underlying,
bound in each, binds both in one,
holy Sion’s help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
All that dedicated city,
dearly loved by God on high,
in exultant jubilation
pours perpetual melody,
God the One, in threefold glory,
singing everlastingly.
To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of hosts, today;
with thy wonted loving-kindness,
hear thy people as they pray;
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls for ay.
Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
gifts of grace by prayer to gain;
here to have and hold for ever,
those go
