Psalm 127

Verse 1

Oh, let the people of the Lord On him alone depend; His mercies past with joy record, And trust him to the end.

Verse 2

When he assists the house to build, Secure and strong it stands; The city he vouchsafes to shield Is safe from hostile hands.

Verse 3

To late retire and early rise Cannot insure success; And thrift his labors vaily plies Without the Lord to bless.

Verse 4

Children and friends, yes, every good We hold, are all the Lord’s Oh, happy were our gratitude As large as his rewards.
