1.You that know the Lord is gracious,You for whom a cornerstoneStands, of God elect and precious,Laid that you may build there-on,See that on that sure foundationYou a living temple raise.Towers that may tell forth salvation,Walls that may reech-o praise.2.Living stones by God appointedEach to his allotted place,Kings and priests, by God anointed,Shall you not declare His grace?You, a royal generation,Tell the tidings of your birth,Tidings of a new creationTo an old and weary earth.3.Tell the praise of Him who called youOut of darkness into light,Broke the fetters that enthralled you,Gave you freedom, peace, and sight:Tell the tale of sins forgiven,Strength renewed and hope restored,Till the earth, in tune with heaven,Praise and magnify the Lord.
