HYMN 530. Lovers of Sion blessed.

The mighty God, &c.

Psalm 122. (2. METRE.)

FULL glad was I when as they said to me, Come let us ha∣sten to the house of God: Our feet shall stand where we desire to be, Within thy Gates O Salem's safe abode! Jerusalem is built up most compleatly, Like to a Ci∣ty joyn'd together neatly.
Whither go up the tribes whereof we tell,

Page 645

The tribes of God unto that stately frame; Unto the Te∣stament of Israel, To render thanks to God's most holy Name: For there are set the thrones with grace engraved; The thrones of Judg∣ment for the house of David.
Pray for the peace of sweet Jerusalem, Pray that its peace may bear a lasting date: For they shall pros∣per ev'ry one of them That love the good of Sion's good estate. Peace be within thy walls with double blessing, Prosperity thy palaces possessing.
Yea, for my Bre∣threns sake that shall have part, And my Compa∣nions every one of them: Now will I say, and say it from my heart, Peace be within thee, O Jerusalem: And for the Lord our God's most holy dwelling, Ill seek thy good, as of a place excelling.
