HYMN 530. Lovers of Sion blessed.
The mighty God, &c.
Psalm 122. (2. METRE.)
FULL glad was Iwhen as they said to me,Come let us ha∣stento the house of God:Our feet shall standwhere we desire to be,Within thy GatesO Salem's safe abode!Jerusalemis built up most compleatly,Like to a Ci∣tyjoyn'd together neatly.
Whither go upthe tribes whereof we tell,
descriptionPage 645
The tribes of Godunto that stately frame;Unto the Te∣stamentof Israel,To render thanksto God's most holy Name:For there are setthe thrones with grace engraved;The thrones of Judg∣mentfor the house of David.
Pray for the peaceof sweet Jerusalem,Pray that its peacemay bear a lasting date:For they shall pros∣perev'ry one of themThat love the goodof Sion's good estate.Peace be withinthy walls with double blessing,Prosperitythy palaces possessing.
Yea, for my Bre∣threnssake that shall have part,And my Compa∣nionsevery one of them:Now will I say,and say it from my heart,Peace be withinthee, O Jerusalem:And for the Lordour God's most holy dwelling,I••ll seek thy good,as of a place excelling.
