Unless the LORD the House Shall Build

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Vocation Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord the house shall build, the weary builders toil in vain; unless the LORD the city shield, the guards a useless watch maintain. 2 In vain you rise at morning break, in vain your late-night vigils keep, and draining days of work partake— those whom God loves fall fast asleep. 3 Yes, children are a great reward, a gift from God in very truth; as quiver full of arrows stored are children giv'n in days of youth. 4 How blest are those whose lives are cheered by children's growth in strength and grace. Within their house no foes are feared, for God keeps watch within that place. Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
