3 'Tis he that built his Glorious Church, And laid the corner stone, In all the Earth there is None such, O praise the Holy One.
4 With precious Stones he hath it built, Yea, living ones they are, And by his Spirit so compact, 'Tis far beyond compare.
5 The Timber, and the Stones by him Were squared curiously, That all the Buildings in the World, With this cannot come nigh.
6 The matter and the form also, Did he alone ordain, No alteration must be made, Upon eternal pain.
7 All other Builders Servants have To labour with their hands; Who according to the pattern act, And just as he commands.
