70. See what a living stone

See what a living stone
the builders did reject;
yet God has built his church thereon,
and it is living yet.

The work, O Lord, is yours,
and wondrous in our eyes;
this day will prove your love is sure:
this day did Jesus rise!

This is the glorious day
that our Redeemer made;
let all rejoice, and sing, and pray,
and let the church be glad.

We bless God's holy word,
which all this grace displays,
and offer at your altar, Lord,
our sacrifice of praise.
