1 Within Thy temple, Lord,
In that most holy place,
We on Thy lovingkindness dewell,
the wonders of Thy grace.
Men sing Thy praise, O god,
Where'er Thy Name is known;
by every deed Thy hand has wrought
Thy righteousness is shown.
2 Let Zion's mount rejoice,
and all her children sing;
Let them with tnakfulness proclaim
The judgments of their King.
Mount Zion's walls behold,
About her ramparts go,
And number ye the lofty towers
That guard her from the foe.
3 Observe her palaces,
Mark her defenses well,
That to the sons that follow you
Her glories you may tell;
For God as our own God
Forever will abide,
And till life's journey close in death
Will be our faithful Guide.
