<p>O ’twas a joyful sound to hear<br>
|
|
Our tribes devoutly say,<br>
|
|
Up, Israel! to the temple haste,<br>
|
|
And keep your festal day.<br>
|
|
At Salem’s courts we must appear,<br>
|
|
With our assembled powers,<br>
|
|
In strong and beauteous order ranged,<br>
|
|
Like her united towers.</p>
|
|
<p>O ever pray for Salem’s peace;<br>
|
|
For they shall prosp’rous be,<br>
|
|
Thou holy city of our God,<br>
|
|
Who bear true love to Thee.<br>
|
|
May peace within Thy sacred walls<br>
|
|
A constant guest be found;<br>
|
|
With plenty and prosperity<br>
|
|
Thy palaces be crowned.</p>
|
|
<p>For my dear brethren’s sake, and friends<br>
|
|
No less than brethren dear,<br>
|
|
I’ll pray: May peace in Salem’s towers<br>
|
|
A constant guest appear.<br>
|
|
But most of all I’ll seek thy good,<br>
|
|
And ever wish thee well,<br>
|
|
For Sion and the temple’s sake,<br>
|
|
Where God vouchsafes to dwell.</p>
