Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #222 (1786) Scripture: Psalm 118:22-27 First Line: Lo! what a glorious corner stone Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious corner-stone
The Jewish builders did refuse:
But God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envy and the Jews.
2 Great God, the work is all divine,
The joy and wonder of our eyes;
This is the day that proves it thine,
The day that saw our Saviour rise.
3 Sinners rejoice, and saints be glad;
Hosannah, let his name be blest;
A thousand honours on his head,
With peace, and light, and glory rest!
4 In God's own name he comes to bring
Salvation to our dying race;
Let the whole church address their king
With hearts of joy, and songs of praise.
