Isaac Watts · 325 of 724

Psalm 144 Part 3

Happy the city where their sons, Like pillars round a palace set, And daughters, bright as polished stones, Give strength and beauty to the state.

Happy the country where the sheep, Cattle, and corn, have large increase; Where men securely work or sleep, Nor sons of plunder break the peace.

Happy the nation thus endowed, But more divinely blest are those On whom the all-sufficient God Himself with all his bestows.
