The Stone which the Builders refused is become the Head Stone of the Corner.
The Foundation Stone chosen by God, the Rock on which the Church rests; your Glory will remain long after the World lies in Ruins.
Lord, we will gladly build a House where we proclaim your Honour and pure Doctrine for Ever and Ever.
Therefore we lay a Stone as the Foundation for a new Building. And we wait for the Hour of your Blessing, fresh as the Morning Dew.
O! let us raise up this House united in Love and Strength, so that with your Help nothing may grieve us.
But above all, Lord, prepare us for your Temple, so that those who depart from our midst will rejoice in eternal Rest. Amen.
