<p>O Thou, to Whom, in ancient time,<br>
|
|
The lyre of Hebrews bards was strung,<br>
|
|
Whom kings adored in song sublime,<br>
|
|
And prophets praised with glowing tongue.</p>
|
|
<p>Not now in Zion’s height alone<br>
|
|
The favored worshiper may dwell,<br>
|
|
Nor where, at sultry noon, Thy Son<br>
|
|
Sat weary by the patriarch’s well.</p>
|
|
<p>From every place below the skies,<br>
|
|
The grateful song, the fervent prayer,<br>
|
|
The incense of the heart, may rise<br>
|
|
To heaven, and find acceptance there.</p>
|
|
<p>O Thou to Whom, in ancient time,<br>
|
|
The lyre of prophet bards was strung,<br>
|
|
To Thee at last in every clime,<br>
|
|
Shall temples rise and praise be sung.</p>
