Lyics

When David tuned the trembling lyre,

The speechless multitude were still;

He shed abroad celestial fire,

And praise was heard on Zion's hill.



The tribes par-took the spreading joy,

And join'd the chorus of the song,

And dulcet voices sounding high,

In concert moved the praise along.



CHORUS

Now lightly moves the gentle strain,

And now more loudly swelling;

The sweetest note, the richest strain,

Is of Zion's glory telling!
