Unless the Lord Constructs the House
Author: Mollie Knight Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #127A (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Psalms for All Seasons Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord constructs the house,
the builders work in vain;
the Lord alone designs and builds
foundations that remain.
2 Unless the Lord is keeping watch,
the city cannot stand;
the sentry guards the gates in vain
without God's mighty hand.
3 In vain you labor night and day,
by constant care oppressed;
the Lord supplies your loved ones' needs
and grants them sleep and rest.
4 The Lord designed the family,
providing earthly love;
our children are God's heritage -
a gift from heaven above.
5 Like weapons in a warrior's hand
are those who bear our name;
with them we face a hostile world
assured and free from shame.
