AUS DEO, it is done!
Rolled away from loving heart
Is a stone.
Lifted higher, we depart,
Having one.
LAUS DEO!
The laying of the corner-stone of The Mother Church.
AUS 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.
(Heaven chiseled squarely good)

Laus Deo, night star-lit
Slumbers not in God's embrace;
Be awake;
Like this stone, be in thy place:
Stand, not sit.
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!
