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 Zion rest,
As the chief corner stone.
3 The work, O Lord, is thine,
And wondrous 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.
