The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7704

7704. Within Thy Temple, Lord

1. Within Thy temple, Lord,
We on Thy mercies dwell;
Far as Thy name is known,
There doth Thy praise excel:
Thy praises sound through every land,
And right Thy scepter shall command.

2. Let Zion’s mount rejoice,
Let Judah’s daughters praise
The Lord with cheerful voice,
For judgment He displays;
Go round the walls on Zion’s mount,
Go round her splendors to recount.

3. The towers of Zion tell,
Her palaces survey,
Mark all her bulwarks well,
And to your children say:
This God forever shall abide,
E’en unto death, our God and guide.
