No sleep nor slumber to his eyes
Good David would afford,
Till he had found below the skies
A dwelling for the Lord.

No sleep nor slumber to his eyes
Good David would afford,
Till he had found below the skies
A dwelling for the Lord.
The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest, And envy rage in vain
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
does its successive journeys run,
his kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
till moons shall wax and wane no more.
Great God, whose universal sway
the known and unknown worlds obey,
Entrust the kingdom to your Son,
Extend his power, exalt his throne
Twas for our sake, eternal God,
Thy Son sustain’d that heavy load
Of base reproach and sore disgrace,
And shame defil’d his sacred face.
Father, I sing thy wondrous grace,
I bless my Savior’s name;
He bought salvation for the poor,
And bore the sinner’s shame
Raised by his Father to the throne,
He sent his promised Spirit down,
With gifts and grace for rebel men,
That God might dwell on earth again.
The broken heart is acceptable to God only through Jesus Christ; there is no true repentance without faith in him
When Christ to judgment shall descend,
And saints surround their Lord,
He calls the nations to attend,
And hear his aweful word
Oh for a shout of sacred joy
To God the sov’reign King!
Let ev’ry land their tongues employ,
And hymns of triumph sing.
Oh happy hour, when thou shalt rise
To his fair palace in the skies,
And all thy sons (a num’rous train)
Each like a Prince in glory reign.
