How did my heart rejoice to hear

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #548 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 51:18 Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear My friends devoutly say, In Zion let us all appear, And keep the solemn day. 2 I love her gates--I love the road; The church, adorned with grace, Stands like a palace built for God, To show his milder face. 3 Up to her courts, with joy unknown, The holy tribes repair: The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there. 4 He hears our praises and complaints, And while his awful voice Divides the sinners from the saints, We tremble and rejoice. 5 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest; With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest! 6 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains; Here my best friends, my kindred dwell, Here God, my Saviour, reigns.
