  • The Church. (Psalm 100:4; Psalm 122)
    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 joys 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;
    There my best friends, my kindred dwell;
    There God my Saviour reigns.
