Tune: Coe Fen
('How shall I sing that majesty?')
Parts of Psalms 121 to 126
***********
I will lift my eyes to the hills
Quiet, peace, my heart stills
From there comes my help, from the Lord
I trust His living word
He who has made heaven and earth
I praise, give Him His worth
He will not allow your foot to
Be moved, will you renew
Pray for peace of Jerusalem
City of peace, Salem
They hall prosper that do love you
And seek your blessings true
Peace b within your city walls
Prosperity in halls
Of your palaces, they shine bright
They are glorious sight
Our soul is escaped as a bird
Teh Lord our prayers has heard
We are escaped out of the snare
That enemies laid there
The snare is broken, we set free
To spread our wings and be
People who live, and our help in
The Lord, through Him we win
They that trust in the Lord shall be
Strong as mount Zion, see
Which cannot be removed, but stays
Abides to endless days
As the mounts around Salem are
So the Lord is not far
From us, but round about us is
For ever, we are His
Thurn, O Lord, our captivity
As streams in the south be
They that sow in tears, they shall reap
In joy, a harvest keep
They that go forth weeping, bearing
Precious seed, they shall sing
Rejoicing when they do return
With their sheaves, their hearts burn
