/ The laying of the corner-stone of The Mother Church.
/ Laus Deo, it is done! / Rolled away from loving heart / Is a stone. / Lifted higher, we depart, / Having one.
/ _Laus Deo_, -- on this rock / (Heaven chiseled squarely good) / Stands His church, -- / God is Love, and understood / By His flock.
/ _Laus Deo_, night star-lit / Slumbers not in God's embrace; / Be awake; / Like this stone, be in thy place: / Stand, not sit.
/ Grave, silent, steadfast stone, / Dirge and song and shoutings low / In thy heart / Dwell serene, -- and sorrow? No, / It has none, / _Laus Deo! _
