Tune: Merrial
(\'Now the day is over\')
Psalm 127
********
Except the LORD, He build
The house, men do wield
Their labour in vain for
It shall fail for sure
\'Tis vain for you to rise
Early, and your eyes
Restrain from sleep, and stay
Awake late in day
For the LORD he gives to
His beloved, e\'en you
Sweet sleep, and His peace sure
To abide e\'er more
See, children that they be
An heritage free
Of the LORD, a reward
From His grace outpoured
