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 saints assemble now,
There is a house for God.
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 honours shall adorn his crown,
And shame confound his foes.
