Hymn 57
How sweet the word of God to hear.
1
How sweet the word of God to hear.
From the mouth of our friends,
That we should gather in Zion
To keep the holy day
2
Its env’rons and the gates i keep
The decorated house
The house that we built for our God
Where His mercy, to show
3
The countryard of the house of joy
Where holy tribes went forth
On the throne, the son of David
Is judging matter there
4
He hears our praises and our cries
Like His tremendous voice
That separate sinners to his doom
In tremble we rejoice
5
Let thy blessing be in the place
And joy of often time.
Let us give friends, and His goodness
To all that serves Him there.
6
My soul’s now pleading for Zion
While I am still alive
There all the relatives and friends
Our Saviour too is there.
