Within Thy Temple, Lord

Within Thy tem­ple

Lord

We on Thy mer­cies dwell;

Far as Thy name is known

There doth Thy praise ex­cel:

Thy prais­es sound through ev­ery land

And right Thy scep­ter shall com­mand.

Let Zi­on’s mount re­joice

Let Ju­dah’s daugh­ters praise

The Lord with cheer­ful voice

For judg­ment He dis­plays;

Go round the walls on Zi­on’s mount

Go round her splen­dors to re­count.

The tow­ers of Zi­on tell

Her pa­lac­es sur­vey

Mark all her bul­warks well

And to your child­ren say:

This God for­ev­er shall ab­ide

E’en un­to death

our God and guide.
