Lo! What a Glorious Corner-Stone

lyricist: Isaac Watts, 1719
Composer: Virgil Taylor, 1850

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.

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.

Sinners

re­joice; and saints

be glad;

Hosanna

let His name be blessed;

A thou­sand ho­nors on His head

With peace

and light

and glo­ry rest!

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.
