Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 92 (part 2)
Isaac Watts
Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand
In gardens planted by Thine hand:
Let me within Thy courts be seen,
Like a young cedar, fresh and green.
2 There grow Thy saints in faith and love,
Bless'd with Thine influence from above;
Not Lebanon with all its trees
Yields such a comely sight as these.
3 The plants of grace shall ever live;
Nature decays, but grace must thrive;
Time, that doth all things else impair,
Still makes them flourish strong and fair.
4 Laden with fruits of age, they show
The Lord is holy, just, and true;
None that attend His gates shall find
A God unfaithful or unkind.
Isaac Watts, 1719.
