Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P48b (1766) Lyrics: 1 Far as thy Name is known,
The World declares thy Praise;
Thy Saints, O Lord, before thy Throne,
Their Songs of Honour raise.
2 With Joy let Judah stand,
On Sion's chosen Hill,
Proclaim the Wonders of thy Hand,
And Counsels of thy Will.
3 Let Strangers walk around
The City where we dwell,
Compass and view thine holy Ground,
And mark the Building well.
4 The Orders of thy House,
The Worship of thy Court,
The cheerful Songs, the solemn Vows,
And make a fair Report.
5 How decent and how wise!
How glorious to behold!
Beyond the Pomp that charms the Eyes,
And Rites adorn'd with Gold.
6 The GOD we worship now
Will guide us till we die,
Will be our GOD while here below,
And ours above the Sky. Topics: Church is the Safety and Honour of a Nation; Church its beauty; Church its worship and order; Delight and Safety in Church; Enemies destroyed; Gospel worship and order; Nation's Honour and Safety is the Church Scripture: Psalm 48:10-14 Languages: English
