The Silver Chime ‎#90b

90b. Hymn 2--Corner Stone, Church or School

1 Beneath these broad blue skies,
Let Wisdom's walls arise,
With strength and grace.
Here, on this hallowed ground,
Still let her home be found,
And her fair fruits abound,
To bless the race.

2 Builded on Truth and Right--
Girded with Freedom's might,
And bands of Love--
Long let this temple stand,
A light to all the land,
Protected by Thy hand,
Great God above!

3 Thine, thine, O Lord, are we,
And thine our works shall be,
While life is given.
When life's short race is run,
When all our work is done,
Give us, thro' Christ thy Son,
A house in Heaven.
