Text:See what a living stone

191. See what a living stone

1 See what a living stone
The builders did refuse!
Yet God hath built His church thereon,
In spite of envious Jews.

2 The work, O Lord, is Thine,
And wondrous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine,
This day did Jesus rise.

3 Hosanna to the King
Of David's royal blood!
Bless Him, ye saints, He comes to bring
Salvation from our God.

4 Oh, come the happy hour
When all the world shall own
Thy Son, O God, declared with power
And worship at Thy throne!

5 We bless Thy holy word
Which all this grace displays,
And offer at your altar, Lord,
Our sacrifice of praise.
