PSALM 118. Second Part. C.M.
Public praise for deliverance from death. (cont.)
4 |
There we have told thee our complaints,
And there we speak thy praise.
|
PSALM 118. Third Part. C.M.
Christ the foundation of his church.
1 |
BEHOLD the sure foundation Stone
Which God in Zion lays,
To build our heav'nly hopes upon,
And his eternal praise.
|
2 |
Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
How glorious is thy name!
Saints trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.
|
3 |
The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain:
Yet on this rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.
|
4 |
What tho' the gates of hell withstood;
Yet must this building rise:
'Tis thy own work. Almighty God,
And wondrous in our eyes.
|
PSALM 118. Fourth Part. C.M.
The resurrection of Christ and our salvation.
1 |
THIS is the day, the Lord hath made,
He calls the hours his own;
Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.
|
2 |
To-day he rose, and left the dead;
And Satan's empire fell:
To-day the saints his triumph spread,
And all his wonders tell.
|
3 |
Hosanna to th' anointed King,
To David's holy Son:
Help us, O Lord, descend and bring
Salvation from thy throne.

PSALM 118. Fourth Part. C.M.
The resurrection of Christ and our salvation. (cont.)
4 |
Blest be the Lord who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes in God, his Father's name,
To save our sinful race.
|
5 |
Hosanna in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise;
The highest heav'ns in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise.
|
PSALM 118. Fifth Part. S.M.
Hosanna for the Lord's day.
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 thy holy word,
Which all this grace displays;
And offer on thine altar, Lord,
Our sacrifice of praise.
