Lo! What a Glorious Corner-Stone

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 118

Verse 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.

Verse 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 Savior rise.

Verse 3

Sinners, rejoice; and saints, be glad; Hosanna, let his name be blest; A thousand honors on his head, With peace, and light, and glory rest!

Verse 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.
