The Psalms of David ‎#214b

214b. A Hosanna for the Lord's-Day; or, a new Song of Salvation by Christ

1 See what a living Stone
The Builders did refuse;
Yet GOD hath built his Church thereon,
In Spite of envious Jews.

2 The Scribe and angry Priest
Reject thine only Son;
Yet on this Rock shall Sion rest,
As the chief Corner-Stone.

3 The Work, O Lord, is Thine,
And wond'rous in our Eyes:
This Day declares it all divine,
This Day did Jesus rise.

4 This is the glorious Day
That our Redeemer made;
Let us rejoice, and sing and pray,
Let all the Church be glad.

5 Hosanna to the King
Of David's Royal Blood;
Bless Him, ye Saints, He comes to bring
Salvation from your GOD.

6 We bless thine holy Word,
Which all this Grace displays;
And offer on thine Altar, Lord,
Our Sacrifice of Praise.
