Hymn #32
Within your temple, Lord
Psalm 48 Gopsal Paraphrase, United Presbyterian Book of Psalms 1871 Music: Congregational Church Music 1853 public domainWithin your temple, Lord, your mercies we will tell,
for where your name is known there does your praise excel:
your praises sound through every land;
with righteous reign you shall command.Mount Zion, now rejoice! Let Judah’s daughters praise
with strong and cheerful voice, the justice God displays;
go round the walls on Zion’s mount
its many splendours to recount.
The towers of Zion tell; its palaces survey;
mark its defences well, and to your children say:
“The Lord, our faithful God and guide,
this God forever shall abide.”
