Gracious Lord, Remember David (EN 1795)

EN 1795 Gracious Lord, Remember David

Ps.132.1

Versi Version 1

1

Gracious Lord, remember David,

How he made Thy house his care,

How he vowed to seek no pleasure

Till Thy house he should prepare.

Lord, remember his devotion;

Restless in his courts he trod

Till he found a habitation

Fit for Israel’s mighty God;

Till he found a habitation

Fit for Israel’s mighty God.

2

Far away God’s ark was resting,

It is with His people now;

We will go into His temple,

At His footstool we will bow.

With the ark, Thy might revealing,

Enter, Lord, into Thy rest;

Let Thy priests be clothed with justice,

Let Thy joyful saints be blest;

Let Thy priests be clothed with justice,

Let Thy joyful saints be blest.

3

Let the king behold Thy favor

For Thy servant David’s sake,

Unto whom a sacred promise,

Sure and faithful, Thou didst make.

If his children keep Thy covenant

And Thy testimony own,

Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised,

They shall sit upon the throne;

Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised,

They shall sit upon the throne.

4

Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion,

Thou hast ever loved her well;

“This My resting place forever,

Here,” Thou say’st, “I choose to dwell.

Surely I will bless and help her,

Feed her poor, her saints make glad,

And her priests shall stand before Me

In salvation’s garments clad;

And her priests shall stand before Me

In salvation’s garments clad.

5

“I will cause the might of David

Ever more and more to grow;

On the path of Mine Anointed

I will make a lamp to glow.

All His enemies shall perish,

I will cover them with shame;

But His crown shall ever flourish;

Blessed be His holy Name;

But His crown shall ever flourish;

Blessed be His holy Name.”
