The Psalms of David · Psalm 132

[No sleep nor slumber to his eyes Good David would afford, Till he had found below the skies A dwelling for the Lord.

The Lord in Zion placed his name, His ark was settled there; To Zion the whole nation came To worship thrice a year.

But we have no such lengths to go, Nor wander far abroad; Where'er thy assemble now, There is a house for God.]

PAUSE.

Arise, O King of , arise, And enter to thy rest! Lo! thy church waits with longing eyes Thus to be owned and blessed.

Enter with all thy glorious train, Thy Spirit and thy word; All that the ark did once contain Could no such grace afford.

Here, mighty God, accept our vows, Here let thy praise be spread; Bless the provisions of thy house, And fill thy poor with bread.

Here let the Son of David reign, Let God's Anointed shine; Justice and truth his court maintain With love and power divine.

Here let him hold a lasting throne; And as his kingdom grows, Fresh honors shall adorn his crown, And shame confound his foes.
