Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#259a

259a. Lo! what a glorious corner-stone

1 Lo! what a glorious corner-stone
The Jewish builders did refuse:
But God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envy and the Jews.

2 Great God! the work is all divine,
The joy and wonder of our eyes;
This is the day that proves it thine,
The day that saw our Savior rise.

3 Sinners rejoice, and saints be glad;
Hosanna, let his name be blest;
A thousand honors on his head,
With peace, and light, and glory rest!

4 In God's own name he comes to bring
Salvation to our dying race;
Let the whole church address their King
With hearts of joy, and songs of praise.
