Hymns - Gracious Lord, Remember David - Текст песни

Gracious Lord, remember David,
How he made Thy house his care,
How he vowed to seek no pleasure
Till Thy house he should prepare.
Lord, remember his devotion;
Restless in his courts he trod
Till he found a habitation
Fit for Israel???s mighty God;
Till he found a habitation
Fit for Israel???s mighty God.

Far away God???s ark was resting,
It is with His people now;
We will go into His temple,
At His footstool we will bow.
With the ark, Thy might revealing,
Enter, Lord, into Thy rest;
Let Thy priests be clothed with justice,
Let Thy joyful saints be blest;
Let Thy priests be clothed with justice,
Let Thy joyful saints be blest.

Let the king behold Thy favor
For Thy servant David???s sake,
Unto whom a sacred promise,
Sure and faithful, Thou didst make.
If his children keep Thy covenant
And Thy testimony own,
Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised,
They shall sit upon the throne;
Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised,
They shall sit upon the throne.

Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion,
Thou hast ever loved her well;
???This My resting place forever,
Here,??? Thou say???st, ???I choose to dwell.
Surely I will bless and help her,
Feed her poor, her saints make glad,
And her priests shall stand before Me
In salvation???s garments clad;
And her priests shall stand before Me
In salvation???s garments clad.

???I will cause the might of David
Ever more and more to grow;
On the path of Mine Anointed
I will make a lamp to glow.
All His enemies shall perish,
I will cover them with shame;
But His crown shall ever flourish;
Bless??d be His holy Name;
But His crown shall ever flourish;
Bless??d be His holy Name.???
