I will give thanks to thee, O Lord,
and ever will praise thee,
Who hast me heard, and art become
a Savior unto me.
The stone which formerly among
the builders was refused,
Is now become the corner stone,
and chiefly to be used.
This was the mighty work of God,
it was the Lord's own fact;
And it is wondrous to behold
that great and noble act.
This is the joyful, day indeed,
which God himself hath wrought;
Let us be glad and joy therein
in heart, in mind, and thought.
Now help us, Lord, and prosper us,
we wish with one accord;
Blessèd is he that comes to us
in the Name of the Lord.
God is the Lord that shows us light,
bind ye therefore with cord
Your sacrifice to the altar,
and give thanks to the Lord.
Thou art my God, I will confess,
and render thanks to thee;
Thou art my God, and I will praise
Thy mercy towards me.
O give ye thanks to God the Lord,
for very kind is he;
Because his mercy doth endure
to all eternity.
