Matthew 21:42: Christ the head and corner-stone
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Christ the head and corner-stone,
Thy sovereign power we see:
Jews and Gentiles now are one,
Are cemented by Thee:
Thee despised by sinful men,
Thee refused and crucified,
God hath raised to life again.
And seated at His side.
Object of our joy and hope
And admiration live,
Till I'hou take Thy members up
Thy kingdom to receive:
Let us to the end endure.
Daily share Thy mortal pain.
Then the crown of life is sure
And then with Thee we reign.
