Tune: St James' Air
('How lovely is thy dwelling place')
Psalm 87
********
His foundation in holy mount (Mount Zion)
Is, there flow all His founts
Of blessing, mercy, and of grace
His desired dwelling place
He loves the gates of Zion more
Than all the dwellings sure
Of Israel, for Zion be
His chosen place, here see
Glorious things of you, city
Of God are spoken, we
Make mention too of enemies
Who in peace in city be
People from Egypt, Babylon
Philistia, daughters, sons
And Tyre and Ethiopia
There too we do concur
They settled, born in family
And they of Zion, see
They born there, the highest He shall
Write of them and shall tell
The LORD, the highest, He shall count
All on His holy mount
He shall say that they be born there
An inheritance share
There too be singers and players
On instruments, gifts stir
To praise the LORD, and all His springs
In Zion are, each sings
