Trinity Hymnal ‎#307

307. 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 ev'ry 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 tow'rs of Zion tell,
Her palaces survey,
Mark all her bulwarks well,
And to your children say:
This God for ever shall abide,
Ev'n unto death, our God and guide.

Amen.
