PSALM LXXXVII.
Yea, her foundations are sublime,
And first the holy hills we climb,
Ere we can reach her gate;
And God fair Zion's tow'r renowns
Far more than all Judea's towns,
And loves to make her great.
And first the holy hills we climb,
Ere we can reach her gate;
And God fair Zion's tow'r renowns
Far more than all Judea's towns,
And loves to make her great.
82
Thy beauties are a theme to raise
Encomiasts to transcendent praise,
Illustrious as thou art;
All earth of thine alliance boasts,
Thou city of the Lord of hosts,
And fair Judea's heart.
Encomiasts to transcendent praise,
Illustrious as thou art;
All earth of thine alliance boasts,
Thou city of the Lord of hosts,
And fair Judea's heart.
Rahab amongst the wonders nam'd,
And Babylon so loudly fam'd,
Proud spires and sumptuous domes;
In these my psalms to God are known,
And they the praise of Zion own
In all their tongues and tomes.
And Babylon so loudly fam'd,
Proud spires and sumptuous domes;
In these my psalms to God are known,
And they the praise of Zion own
In all their tongues and tomes.
Behold Philistia's sons aspire,
The Morians and the Men of Tyre,
Peculiar gifts adorn;
But Judah o'er all rivals tow'rs,
All claim and contest overpow'rs,
There is Emanuel born.
The Morians and the Men of Tyre,
Peculiar gifts adorn;
But Judah o'er all rivals tow'rs,
All claim and contest overpow'rs,
There is Emanuel born.
And Zion more applause shall gain,
That there is born in her domain
The child both God and man;
And Christ her lasting throne shall found,
From forth Beer-Sheba's utmost bound,
Ev'n to remotest Dan.
That there is born in her domain
The child both God and man;
And Christ her lasting throne shall found,
From forth Beer-Sheba's utmost bound,
Ev'n to remotest Dan.
The Lord, in everlasting verse,
In ears of angels shall rehearse
That Jesus is his heir,
And he, by whom the tribes are seal'd
At Bethlehem—Judah is reveal'd,
And comes incarnate there.
In ears of angels shall rehearse
That Jesus is his heir,
And he, by whom the tribes are seal'd
At Bethlehem—Judah is reveal'd,
And comes incarnate there.
Then shall he marshal every row
Of Cherubs that the trumpet blow,
And Seraphims that sing;
From Jordan purer streams shall rise,
Both Jews and Gentiles to baptize,
And consecrated spring.
Of Cherubs that the trumpet blow,
And Seraphims that sing;
From Jordan purer streams shall rise,
Both Jews and Gentiles to baptize,
And consecrated spring.
