LyicsFIRST.
SEE what a living stone
The builders did refuse;--
SECOND.
Yet God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envious Jews.
FIRST.
The scribe and angery priest
Reject thine only Son:--
SECOND.
Yet on this rock shall Zion rest,
As the chief corner-stone.
CONGREGATION.
The work, O Lord, is thine,
And wondrous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine,
This day did Jesus rise.
FIRST.
This is the glorious day
That our Redeemer made:--
SECOND.
Let us rejoice--and sing--and pray--
Let all the church be glad.
FIRST.
Hosanna to the King,
Of David's royal blood:
SECOND.
Bless him, ye saints--he comes to bring
Salvation from your God.
CONGREGATION.
We bless thine holy word,
Which all this grace displays;
And offer on thine altar, Lord,
Our sacrifice of praise.
