Appendix, Containing a Number of Hymns Taken Chiefly from Dr. Watts's Scriptural Collection ‎#III

III. How honourable is the Place

1 How honourable is the Place,
where we adoring stand,
Sion, the Glory of the Earth,
and Beauty of the Land!
2 Bulwarks of mighty Grace defend
The City where we dwell;
The Walls of strong Salvation made,
defy th' Assaults of Hell.

3 Lift up the everlasting Gates,
the Doors wide open fling;
Enter ye Nations that obey
the Statutes of our King.
4 Here shall you taste unmingled Joys,
and live in perfect Peace;
You that have known Jehovah's Name,
and ventur'd on his Grace.

5 Trust in the Lord, for ever trust,
and banish all your Fears;
Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells;
eternal as his Years.
