- 1God in his earthly temples lays
- Foundations for his heavenly praise;
- He likes the tents of Jacob well,
- But still in Zion loves to dwell.
- 2His mercy visits every house,
- That pay their night and morning vows;
- But makes a more delightful stay
- Where churches meet to praise and pray.
- 3What glories were described of old!
- What wonders are of Zion told!
- Thou city of our God below,
- Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know.
- 4Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew,
- Shall there begin their lives anew;
- Angels and men shall join to sing
- The hill where living waters spring.
- 5When God makes up his last account
- Of natives in his holy mount,
- ’Twill be an honour to appear
- As one new-born or nourished there.
