The Psalms of David · Psalm 118

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

The scribe and angry priest Reject thine only Son; Yet on this Rock shall Zion rest, As the chief corner-stone.

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

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

Hosanna to the King Of David's royal blood; Bless him, ye saints, he comes to bring Salvation from your God.

We bless thine holy word, Which all this grace displays; And offer on thine altar, Lord, Our sacrifice of praise.
