Tune: Thornbury
(\'Thy hand O God, has guided\')
Psalm 118 v.19-29
********
Open me gates, [of] righteousness
I will go in them, bless
The LORD, these gates I enter
Will go, and not defer
I will praise the LORD, for He
Has heard me, answered, see
And is sure my salvation
Here joy and elation
The stone which the builders cast
Away, they thought [it] gone, past
Refused it and rejected
Yet is become the head
The head stone of the corner
Though men did count, confer
To view it worthless, but it be
Foundational stone, see
Thie be the LORD\'s doing, for
\'Tis marvellous, \'tis sure
This is the day the LORD made
In it His ways displayed
We will rejoice in it, be glad
Not be downcast, not sad
Save now, LORD, we do you beseech
Prosperity send each
God is the LORD, He has shown
us light, to us made known
You are our God, we praise you
And will exalt you too
O give thanks to the LORD, He
Is good, and e\'er shall be
Merciful, and enduring
All praise Him, worship, sing
