‘Behold, 1 lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious.’—
1 Pet. ii. 6.

Marvellous and very precious is the Corner Stone Elect;
Though rejected by the builders, chosen by the Architect;
All-supporting, all-uniting, and all-crowning, tried and sure;
True Foundation, yet true Headstone of His temple bright and pure.
