Good David would afford,
Till he had found below the Skies
A Dwelling for the Lord.
2 The Lord in Sion place'd his Name,
His Ark was settled there;
To Sion the whole Nation came,
To worship thrice a Year.
3 But we have no such Length to go,
Nor wander far abroad;
Where'er thy Saints assemble now,
There is a House for GOD.
Pause.
4 Arise, O King of Grace, arise,
And enter to thy Rest;
Lo! thy Church waits with longing Eyes
Thus to be own'd and blest.
5 Enter with all thy glorious Train,
Thy Spirit and thy Word;
All that the Ark did once contain
Could no such Grace afford.
4 Here, mighty GOD, accept our Vows,
Here let thy Praise be spread:
Bless the Provisions of thy House,
And fill thy Poor with Bread.
7 Here let the Son of David reign,
Let GOD's Anointed shine;
Justice and Truth his Court maintain,
With Love and Pow'r divine.
8 Here let him hold a lasting Throne,
And as his Kingdom grows,
Fresh Honours shall adorn his Crown,
And Shame confound his Foes. Scripture: Psalm 132:4-8
