How Pleased and Blest Was I (EN 1745)

EN 1745 How Pleased and Blest Was I

Ps.122.1

Versi Version 1

1

How pleased and blest was I

To hear the people cry,

“Come, let us seek our God today!”

Yes, with a cheerful zeal

We haste to Zion’s hill,

And there our vows and honors pay.

2

Zion, thrice happy place,

Adorned with wondrous grace,

And walls of strength embrace thee round;

In thee our tribes appear

To pray, and praise, and hear

The sacred Gospel’s joyful sound.

3

There David’s greater Son

Has fixed His royal throne,

He sits for grace and judgment there:

He bids the saint be glad,

He makes the sinner sad,

And humble souls rejoice with fear.

4

May peace attend thy gate,

And joy within thee wait

To bless the soul of every guest!

The man that seeks thy peace,

And wishes thine increase,

A thousand blessings on him rest!

5

My tongue repeats her vows,

“Peace to this sacred house!”

For there my friends and kindred dwell;

And since my glorious God

Makes thee His blest abode,

My soul shall ever love thee well.
