Lyics

Far as thy name is known

The world declares thy praise;

Thy saints, O Lord, before thy throne

Their songs of honor raise.



With joy thy people stand

On Zion's chosen hill,

Proclaim the wonders of thy hand,

And counsels of thy will.



Let strangers walk around

The city where we dwell,

Compass and view thy holy ground,

And mark the building well.



How comely and how wise!

How glorious to behold!

Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes,

And rites adorned with gold.



The God we worship now

Will guide us till we die;

Will be our God while here below,

And ours above the sky.
