No Sleep Nor Slumber to His Eyes (EN 1796)

EN 1796 No Sleep Nor Slumber to His Eyes

Ps.132.4

Versi Version 1

1

No sleep nor slumber to his eyes

Good David would afford,

Till He had found below the skies

A dwelling for the Lord.

2

The Lord in Sion placed His Name,

His ark was settled there;

To Sion the whole nation came

To worship thrice a year.

3

But we have no such lengths to go,

Nor wander far abroad;

Where’er Thy saints assemble now,

There is a house for God.

4

Arise, O King of grace, arise

And enter to Thy rest!

Lo! Thy Church waits with longing eyes

Thus to be owned and blest.

5

Enter with all Thy glorious train

Thy Spirit and Thy Word;

All that the ark did once contain

Could no such grace afford.

6

Here, mighty God, accept our vows,

Here let Thy praise be spread;

Bless the provisions of Thy house,

And fill Thy poor with bread.

7

Here let the Son of David reign,

Let God’s Anointed shine;

Justice and truth His court maintain

With love and power divine.

8

Here let Him hold a lasting throne;

And as His kingdom grows,

Fresh honors shall adorn His crown,

And shame confound his foes.
