A Song of Degrees for Solomon

Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PCXXVII (1742) First Line: Except the Lord the house doth build Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord the house do build, The builders work in vain. Except the Lord the city keep The watchman wakes in vain. 2 It's vain for you to rise betimes, Watch late, to feed upon The bread of griefs; sure he gives sleep To his beloved one. 3 The fruitful womb is God's reward, Children his heritage. 4 As arrows in a strong mans hand, Are sons of youthful age. 5 O blessed is the man who hath His quiver fill'd with those: They shall not in the gate be sham'd In speaking with their foes. Scripture: Psalm 127 Languages: English
