121b. Psalm 118

1. To Jehovah hymn the day,
Ever shall his love endure.
Oh, let grateful Israel say,
Stands his love forever sure.
Oh, let Aaron's house reply:
Ever more his love shall last.
All who fear him, shout and cry:
Stands his love forever fast.

2. Hark! the voice of joy and song
Echoes from the faithful seed;
By his right hand, firm and strong,
He has done a mighty deed.
High Jehovah's hand is raised
By the conquest he has won.
Be Jehovah's right hand praised!
He a mighty deed has done.

3. Saved from death, behold, I stand!
Hark, my tongue his wonders chants!
He applied his chast'ning hand;
He from death my rescue grants.
Bid the righteous gates unfold,
Wide the hallowed portals fling;
Thru' them, lo! my course I hold,
And Jehovah's praises sing.

4. Lo, the stone, which once aside
By the builder's hands was thrown,
See it now the building's pride,
See it now the cornerstone!
Lo, we hail Jehovah's deed,
Strange and wondrous in our eyes!
Lo, the day our God has made!
Bid the voice of gladness rise.

5. Save! Hosanna! Lord, I pray!
Save! Hosanna! God of might!
Lord, for us thy pow’r display;
Lord, on us thy favor light!
Blest be he, who conquest-crowned,
Comes in great Jehovah’s name.
We, who serve his courts around,
Blessings on your head proclaim.

6. He, Jehovah, is our Lord;
He, our God, on us has shined;
Bind the sacrifice with cord,
To the hornèd altar bind.
Here I bless my God and King!
Now my God and King I hail!
Hallelujah! Shout and sing!
Never shall his goodness fail.
