Within Thy Temple, Lord (Psalter)

Within Thy tem­ple

Lord

We think on mer­cies past;

Let earth all praise ac­cord

Long as Thy name shall last;

The right­eous judg­ments of her king

Let Zion and her daugh­ters sing.

About Mount Zi­on go

Her tow­ers and ram­parts tell;

That ye her strength may know

Mark her de­fens­es well;

Her roy­al pa­lac­es be­hold

That ye her glo­ries may un­fold.

To all the com­ing race

Repeat the mes­sage o’er:

This migh­ty God of grace

Is ours for­ev­er­more;

Yea

He our Sav­ior will ab­ide

And un­to death will be our guide.
