Within Your Temple, Lord

(ST. JOHN. 6.6.6.6.8.8)
1.

Within your temple, Lord,
your mercies we will tell,
for where your name is known
there does your praise excel:
your praises sound through every land;
with righteous reign you shall command.

2.

Mount Zion, now rejoice!
Let Judah's daughters praise
with strong and cheerful voice,
the justice God displays;
go round the walls on Zion's mount
its many splendours to recount.

3.

The towers of Zion tell;
its palaces survey;
mark its defences well,
and to your children say:
"The Lord, our faithful God and guide,
this God forever shall abide."

This hymn is in the public domain.
