Book of Psalms
PSALM CXXII.
George Burgess
Glad hails my heart the summons sweet,
When eager brethren say,
\"Come, go we up to God's fair seat,
To keep his festal day.\"
Our feet within thy gates shall climb,
Thy gates that gleam above;
Thou Salem, thron'd in peace sublime,
And girt with walls of love!
For Salem shines, with all her tow'rs,
A city in accord;
And there the tribes array their pow'rs,
The tribes that serve the Lord.
There, round his ark of witness met,
They praise his name divine;
And there are thrones of judgment set,
The thrones of David's line.
Oh, pray for Salem's peaceful days!
And joy for those shall spring,
Who seek thy gates, and love my praise,
Thou city of our King!
Peace dwell within thy lofty walls.
And crown thy sacred dome!
And blessings fill the palace halls,
Our heart's perpetual home!
For my lov'd brethren's sake, I cry,
May peace around thee shine!
And for the house of God most High,
All blessing still be thine!
