P.CXVII | Church Hymn Book#P.CXVIII | P.CXIX.Aleph |
1 See what a living Stone
The builders did refuse:
Yet God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envious Jews.
2 The scribe and angry priest
Reject thine only Son?
Yet on this rock shall Zion rest;
As the chief corner-stone.
3 The work, O Lord, is thine,
And wond'rous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine,
This day did Jesus rise.
4 This is the glorious day
That our Redeemer made;
Let all rejoice and sing, and pray,
Let all the church be glad.
5 Hosannah to the King
Of David's royal blood:
Bless him, ye saints, he comes to bring
Salvation from your God.
6 We bless thine holy word
Which all this grace displays;
And offer at your altar, Lord,
Our sacrifice of praise.
