Hymn 031 – How sweet The word of God to hear | C&S English Hymnary

1. How sweet The word of God to hear From the mouth of our friends That we should gather in Zion To keep the holy day. 2. Its env‘rons and the gates I keep The decorated house The house that we built for our God Which His mercy, to show. 3. The courtyard of the house of joy Where holy tribes went forth On the throne, the son of David ls judging matters there. 4. He hears our praises and our cries Like His tremendous voice That separate sinners to his doom In tremble we rejoice. 5. Let Thy blessing be in the place And joy of often time Let us give friends, and His goodness To all that serves Him there. 6. My Soul‘s now pleading for Zion While I am still alive There all the relatives and friends Our Saviour too is there AMEN
