Text: | Fundamenta |
Author: | J. H. |
1 That City shall full well endure
her ground-work still doth stay
Upon the holy hils full sure,
it can no time decay.
2 God loves the gates of Sion best,
his grace doth there abide:
He loves them more than all the rest
of Jacobs tents beside.
3 Full glorious things reported be
in Sion, and abroad:
Great things, I say, are said of thee,
thou City of our God.
4 On Rahab I will east an eye,
and bear in minde the same:
To Babylon eke apply,
and learne that know thy Name.
5 Loe, Palestine, and Tyre also,
with Ethiope likewise:
A people old full long ago
were borne, and there did rise.
6 Of Sion they shall say abroad,
that divers men of fame
Have there sprung up, and the high God
hath founded fast the same.
7 In their records to them it shall
through God's device appeare:
Of Sion that the chief of all
had his beginning there.
8 The trumpeters with such as sing,
therein great plenty be:
My fountaines and my pleasant springs
are compast all in thee.
