We build with fruitless Cost, unless

Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 Lyrics: 1 We build with fruitless Cost, unless the Lord the Pile sustain; Unless the Lord the City keep, the Watchman wakes in vain. 2 In vain we rise before the Day, and late to Rest repair, Allow no Respite to our toil, and eat the Bread of Care. Supplies of Life, with Ease to them, He on his Saints bestows; He crowns their Labour with Success, their Nights with sound Repose. 3 Children, whose Comforts of our Life, are Presents from the Lord; He gives a num'rous Race of Heirs, as Piety's Reward. 4 As Arrows in a Giant's Hand when marching forth to War, Ev'n so the Sons of sprightly Youth, their Parents Safeguard are. 5 Happy the Man whose Quiver's fill'd with these prevailing Arms; He needs not fear to meet his Foe, at Law, or War's Alarms.

Why should we start, and fear to die!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 First Line: Except the Lord do build the house Lyrics: 1Except the Lord do build the house, the builders lose their pain: Except the Lord the city keep, the watchmen watch in vain. 2’Tis vain for you to rise betimes, or late from rest to keep, To feed on sorrows’ bread; so gives he his beloved sleep. 3Lo, children are God’s heritage, the womb’s fruit his reward. 4The sons of youth as arrows are, for strong men’s hands prepar’d. 5O happy is the man that hath his quiver fill’d with those; They unashamed in the gate shall speak unto their foes.

Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,433 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127:2 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear, it is not night if thou be near: O may no earth-born cloud arise to hide thee from thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep my weary eyelids gently steep, be my last thought, how sweet to rest for ever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, for without thee I cannot live; abide with me when night is nigh, for without thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of thine have spurned to-day the voice divine, now, Lord, the gracious work begin; let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor with blessings from thy boundless store; be every mourner's sleep to-night, like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, ere through the world our way we take; till in the ocean of thy love we lose ourselves in heaven above.
