PSALM CXXII.
My heart with gladness was elate
To hear it thus agreed,
On Jesus let us wait,
And to his temple speed.
To hear it thus agreed,
On Jesus let us wait,
And to his temple speed.
133
Our weary foot shall rest its sole,
No more in tents to roam,
And Salem's moat and mole
Shall keep us safe at home.
No more in tents to roam,
And Salem's moat and mole
Shall keep us safe at home.
Jerusalem's harmonious plan
Of building well describes
Our order man by man,
And union of our tribes.
Of building well describes
Our order man by man,
And union of our tribes.
For there the tribes, howe'er remote,
Upon the Lord attend,
Their off'rings to devote
And gratitude commend.
Upon the Lord attend,
Their off'rings to devote
And gratitude commend.
There is the mercy-seat, the place
For Israel to appeal,
For David and his race
Impartial truth to deal.
For Israel to appeal,
For David and his race
Impartial truth to deal.
O pray for her eternal peace,
For Salem bend the knee;
Their welfare shall increase
Who have a love for thee!
For Salem bend the knee;
Their welfare shall increase
Who have a love for thee!
The peace of God within thy ports,
And on thy walls abide,
And in thy splendid courts
His plenteousness reside.
And on thy walls abide,
And in thy splendid courts
His plenteousness reside.
For Christ, and for the brethrens sake,
And those with whom I dwell,
My soul thy part shall take,
And ever wish thee well.
And those with whom I dwell,
My soul thy part shall take,
And ever wish thee well.
Yea, for the zeal with which I prize
And for the church have stood,
My heart shall still devise
Thy glory and thy good.
And for the church have stood,
My heart shall still devise
Thy glory and thy good.
