Lyics

PEACE be unto this house,
The son of peace draw near;
But has my Master's son
A tabernacle here?
If so, then I will here remain.
If not, adieu, I'll go again.


My master sent me here,
His son a bride to find,
If to him you appear,
If to him you are kind;
If so come go with me to day,
If not, I'll go another day.


Lord send thy spirit forth,
Incline the heart also;
Lord grant Rebecca's voice,
I with the man will go,
'Twould make thy servants all rejoice,
To hear one speak with such a voice.
