¶Lyrics / Text

How oft, instinct with warmth divine, Thy threshold have I trod! How loved the courts, whose walls inshrine The glory of my God! O let me not, the vengeance share, That waits the guilty tribe, Whose murth'rous hands each mischief dare, And grasp the offered bribe. But pour, O pour, while thus I thread The path by thee prepared, Thy beams of mercy on my head, And round me plant a guard. Thou, Lord, my steps hast fixed aright, And pleased shalt hear my tongue With Israel's thankful sons unite To form the festal song.
