Lyrics:

Refrain: The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.

1. Give thanks to the Lord who is good,
for God's love endures for ever.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in mortals;
it is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in rulers.

2. I will thank you for you have answered
and you are my savior.
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the corner stone.
This is the work of the Lord,
a marvel in our eyes.

3. Blessed in the name of the Lord
is he who come.
We bless you from the house of the Lord;
the Lord God is our light.

4. I will thank you for you have answered
and you are my savior.
Give thanks to the Lord who is God;
for God's love endures for ever.
