Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXIIb (1785) First Line: How pleas'd and blest was I Lyrics: 1 How pleas'd and blest was I,
To hear the people cry,
Come, let us seek our GOD to day!
Yes with a chearful zeal
We haste to Zion's hill,
And there our vows and honours pay.
2 Zion, thrice happy place,
Adorn'd with wondrous grace,
And walls of strength embrace thee round;
In thee our tribes appear
To pray, and praise, and hear
The sacred gospel's joyful sound.
3 There David's greater son
Has fix'd his royal throne,
He sits for grace and judgment there:
He bids the saint be glad,
He makes the sinner sad,
And humble souls rejoice with fear.
4 May peace attend thy gate,
And joy within thee wait
To bless the soul of every guest,
The man that seeks thy peace,
And wishes thine increase,
A thousand blessings on him rest!
5 My tongue repeats her vows,
Peace to this sacred house!
For there my friends and kindred dwell;
And since my glorious GOD
Makes thee his best abode,
My soul shall ever love thee well.
6 May peace attend thy gate,
And joy within thee wait
To bless the soul of every guest,
The man that seeks thy peace,
And wishes thine increase,
A thousand blessings on him rest!
