Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 132
Isaac Watts
Arise, O King of grace, arise,
And enter to Thy rest!
Lo, Thy church waits with longing eyes,
Thus to be own'd and blest.
2 Enter with all Thy glorious train,
Thy Spirit and Thy Word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.
3 Here, mighty God! accept our vows,
Here let Thy praise be spread;
Bless the provisions of Thy house,
And fill Thy poor with bread.
4 Here let the Son of David reign;
Let God's Anointed shine;
Justice and truth His court maintain,
With love and power divine.
5 Here let Him hold a lasting throne;
And as His kingdom grows,
Fresh honours shall adorn His crown,
And shame confound His foes.
Isaac Watts, 1719.
