Here is my playlist of James Montgomery’s hymns:
1 An earthly temple here we raise,
Lord God, our Savior, to Thy praise;
Oh, make Thy gracious presence known,
While now we lay its cornerstone.
2 Within the house Thy servants rear,
Deign by Thy Spirit to appear;
On all its walls salvation write,
From corner-stone to topmost height.
3 And when this temple, "made with hands,
Upon its firm foundation stands
Oh, may we all, with loving heart,
In nobler building bear a part;
4 Where every polished stone shall be
A human soul won back to Thee;
All resting upon Christ alone,
The chief and precious corner-stone.
