Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship ‎#348b

348b. Psalm 127

1. Oh, let the people of the Lord
On him alone depend;
His mercies past with joy record,
And trust him to the end.

2. When he assists the house to build,
Secure and strong it stands;
The city he vouchsafes to shield
Is safe from hostile hands.

3. To late retire and early rise
Cannot insure success;
And thrift his labors vaily plies
Without the Lord to bless.

4. Children and friends, yes, every good
We hold, are all the Lord’s
Oh, happy were our gratitude
As large as his rewards.
