Unless the Lord the House Shall Build (EN 1769)

EN 1769 Unless the Lord the House Shall Build

Ps.127.1

Versi Version 1

1

Unless the Lord the house shall build,

The weary builders toil in vain;

Unless the Lord the city shield,

The guards a useless watch maintain.

2

In vain you rise ere morning break,

And late your nightly vigils keep,

And of the bread of toil partake;

God gives to His beloved sleep.

3

Lo, children are a great reward,

A gift from God in very truth;

With arrows is his quiver stored

Who joys in children of his youth.

4

And blest the man whose age is cheered

By stalwart sons and daughters fair;

No enemies by him are feared,

No lack of love, no want of care.
