Happy the city, where their sons

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CXLIV.III (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 7 Happy the city, where its sons, Like pillars round a palace set, And daughters bright as polish'd stones Give strength and beauty to the state. 8 Happy the land in culture dress'd, Whose flocks and corn have large incrase; Where men securely work or rest, Nor sons of plunder break their peace. 9 Happy the nation thus endow'd, But more divinely blest are those, On whom the all-sufficient God Himself with all his grace bestows.
