See What a Living Stone

lyricist: Isaac Watts, 1719
Composer: James McGranahan, 1904

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 Si­on rest

As the chief cor­ner­stone.

The work

O Lord

is Thine

And won­drous in our eyes;

This day de­clares it all di­vine

This day did Je­sus rise.

This is our 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.
