The Book of Praise ‎#32

32. Within your temple, Lord

1 Within your temple, Lord,
your mercies we will tell,
for where your name is known
there does your praise excel:
your praises sound through every land;
with righteous reign you shall command.

2 Mount Zion, now rejoice!
Let Judah's daughters praise
with strong and cheerful voice,
the justice God displays;
go round the walls on Zion's mount
its many splendours to recount.

3 The towers of Zion tell;
its palaces survey;
mark its defences well,
and to your children say:
"The Lord, our faithful God and guide,
this God forever shall abide."
