Another Metre: As Da Pacem Domine.
[verse 1] THE Earth is God's, her Fulness too;
Earth, and all of Earth possess'd:
[verse 2] For on the Seas he pois'd it true;
On the Floods secur'd its Rest.
[verse 3] But who, ô who.
Can, Lord, pursue
Paths to reach thy sacrecd Hill?
Or see thy Face
In that bless'd Place,
There, unmov'd, abiding still?
[verse 4] He, only he, whose Hands are clean,
He who purifies his Heart;
Whose Soul is neither proud, nor vain,
Nor can from his Oaths depart.
[verse 5] All Blessings he
From God shall see,
And his Saviour's Righteousness:
[verse 6] Such, such are they
Who ev'ry Way
After Jacob's Maker press.
[verse 7] List up your Heads, ye sacred Gates!
Doors Eternal, open wide!
Then shall the King of glorious State
Through your Ports triumphant ride.
[verse 8] O who is He
Whose Majestie
Your Angelick Anthems sing?
The Lord of Might
Supream in Fight;
He's our Great, our Glorious King.
