Hymn Context Compare
Unless Jehovah builds the house,
The day was dark, and grief was wide,
Let priest and peo­ple weep.
Although our foes be strong.
Be strengthened, go on in the Lord.
How frail at best is dy­ing man!
That won­drous work is all Thine own.
Their par­don and sal­va­tion sure,
With Him you will be satisfied,
start
In all his flow­er and prime.
Ask for the show­ers of bless­ing,
Like show­ers of heav’n­ly rain,
Help, Sav­ior, by Thy cross and crim­son stain,
And of his strength the cham­pi­on boast;
There is no God, so saith the fool
Make their own pow­ers and pas­sions clean?
So tired of sin and strife, the soul
And hell en­gage,
Unless the Lord the house shall build,

Vain

Unless Jehovah keeps the city,
Until that Sav­ior rose again.
And vain the form of pray­er,
For God is stronger than His foes.
You must go on, go on in the Lord.
Vain his am­bi­tion, noise and show;
To pro­phe­sy up­on the slain;
Their act­ions give their lips the lie.
Christ without, all is vain!
To search the star­ry vault pro­found;
Like sha­dows o’er the plain;
After the voice of con­fess­ing,
And Paul may plant in vain.
When sin with flow­ery gar­land hides her dart,
In vain we trust the bru­tal force,
Ah, reck­less seed and spurn­ing rule!
Till Je­sus brings His Gos­pel nigh;
Yet not in vain; de­liv­er­ance comes;
Their coun­sel vain.
Unless the Lord the ci­ty shield,
