Rev. Dr. Brice Martin
467 - Ye that know the Lord is gracious
1.
Ye that know the Lord is gracious,
Ye for whom a corner stone Stands,
Of God elect and precious,
Laid that ye may build there - on,
See that on that sure foundation
Ye a living temple raise,
Towers that may tell forth salvation
Walls that may re-echo praise.
Tell the praise of Him who called
you.
2. Living stones, by God
appointed
Each to his alloted place,
Kings and priests, by God
annointed,
Shall ye not declare His grace~
Ye a royal generation,
Tell the tidings of your birth,
Tidings of a new creation
To an old and weary earth.
3,

Out 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,
'ra1s~ ánd magnify the Lord.
Amen.
