Tune: Moscow
('Thou whose almighty word')
Psalm 118 v.21-25
**********
I will praise you, Lord, you
Have heard, answered me true
Glory to you
And you are become my
Salvation, you are nigh
The precious stone, the head
Rose from the dead
You are the stone which they
Builders refused that day
But no decay
For that stone has become
Foundation of our home
Chief corner stone which holds
All firm, 'tis told
This is the Lord's doing
Each part, every thing
Praises we sing
And it is marvellous
Here made known unto us
This day the Lord has made
Has it displayed
We will be glad in it
Worship, 'tis meet and fit
The Lord made it
Save now, I beseech you
Lord, we need your help true
Send now prosperity
Let blessings be

I remember well the story of the rejected stone that is chosen to be the corner stone. Nicely done Orchi another good hymn
Thank you SB. A little confusing - some Bible versions say 'corner stone' and some say 'cap stone'. The latter is the middle stone of an arch. Either way, it's the most important stone in the building or arch.
Yes the meaning the same. You are most welcome Orchi
Good write O 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you A.
Welcome my friend 👍🏻🕊️
Erm, Orchi... 666 in the meter?! I knew my Devilishly Dreadful series was contagious, but I didn't expect it to reach the church organ! Someone check whether the organist has sprouted horns. Popeye's already summoned the exorcist, but the poor fellow arrived with three tins of spinach and a bicycle pump. Apparently, that's standard procedure now. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. lol.
