- 1See what a living stone
- The builders did refuse!
- Yet God hath built His Church thereon,
- In spite of envious Jews.
- 2The work, O Lord, is Thine,
- And wondrous in our eyes;
- This day declares it all divine,
- This day did Jesus rise.
- 3Hosanna to the King
- Of David's royal blood!
- Bless Him, ye saints, He comes to bring
- Salvation from our God.
- 4Oh, come the happy hour
- When all the world shall own
- Thy Son, O God, declared with power,
- And worship at Thy throne!
- 5We bless Thy holy word,
- Which all this grace displays;
- And offer on Thine altar, Lord,
- Our sacrifice of praise.
- 6Amen.
