laud and praise undying.

nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.

to our Lord immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;

God the Father praising;
Alleluia! Yet a gain

Yet must this Building rise:

Christ Is Our Cornerstone
Author: John Chandler (1806-1876) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #459 (1998) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our cornerstone
on him alone we build;
with his true saints alone
the courts of heaven are filled.
On his great love
our hopes we place
of present grace
and joys above.
2 O then, with hymns of praise
these hallowed courts shall ring.
Our voices we will raise
the Three-in-One to sing,
and thus proclaim
in joyful song,
both loud and long,
that glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do thou
for evermore draw nigh;
accept each faithful vow,
and mark each suppliant sigh.
In copious shower
on all who pray,
each holy day
thy blessings pour.
4 Here may we gain from heaven
the grace which we implore;
and may that grace, once given,
be with us evermore,
until that day
when all the blest
to endless rest
are called away. Topics: Call and Vocation; Gathering of the Community Languages: English Tune Title: HAREWOOD

In spite of envious Jews.

Reject thine only Son?
Yet on this rock shall Zion rest;
As the chief corner-stone.

And wond'rous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine,
This day did Jesus rise.

That our Redeemer made;
Let all rejoice and sing, and pray,
Let all the church be glad.
