A Song of Degrees of Solomon

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 First Line: Unless Jehovah builds the house Lyrics: 1 Unless JEHOVAH builds the house, vain is the workman's pain: Unless the LORD the city keeps, the watchmen watch in vain; 2 Tis vain for you to rise betimes, and late from rest to keep, Or eat the bread of care: 'tis He gives his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children are an heritage, the LORD alone bestows: Posterity is a reward which from his bounty flows. 4 As arrows in a mighty hand when enemies are near; So children grown up in their youth to their glad parents are. 5 How happy is the man who hath his quiver full of those! For he undaunted in the gate, will speak to all his foes.

We build with fruitless Toil and Cost

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 Lyrics: 1 We build with fruitless Toil and Cost, Unless the LORD the Pile sustain; Unless the LORD the City keeps, The Watchman waketh but in vain. 2 In vain we rise before the Dawn; In vain we late to Rest repair; Allow no Respite to our Toil, And daily eat the Bread of Care. 3 Supplies of Life, with Ease to them, The LORD to all his Saints bestows; He crowns their Labours with Success, Their Nights with Peace and soft Repose. 4 Children, those Comforts of our Life, Are Presents from the bounteous LORD; He gives a num'rous Race of Heirs, Of Piety the sweet Reward. 5 As Arrows in a Giant's Hand, When marching forth, equipp'd for War, Ev'n so the Sons of sprightly Youth Their Parents hopeful Safeguard are. 5 Happy the Man whose Quivers are Replete with those prevailing Arms! He need not fear to meet his Foe, In Strifes of Law, or War's Alarms.

Unless the Lord Constructs the House

Author: Mollie Knight Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord constructs the house, the builders work in vain; the Lord alone designs and builds foundations that remain. 2 Unless the Lord is keeping watch, the city cannot stand; the sentry guards the gates in vain without God's mighty hand. 3 In vain you labor night and day, by constant care oppressed; the Lord supplies your loved ones' needs and grants them sleep and rest. 4 The Lord designed the family, providing earthly love; our children are God's heritage - a gift from heaven above. 5 Like weapons in a warrior's hand are those who bear our name; with them we face a hostile world assured and free from shame.

Nisi Dom.

Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 First Line: Except the Lord the house doth make Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord the house doth make, And thereunto doth set his hand, What men do build it cannot stand. Likewise in vaine men undertake, Cities and holds to watch and ward, Except the Lord be their safeguard. 2 Though ye rise early in the morne, And so at night go late to bed, Feeding full hardly with brown bread Yet were your labour lost and worne: But they whom God doth love and keep, Receive all things with quiet sleep. 3 Therefore mark well when ever ye see, That men have heires to enjoy their land It is the gift of Gods own hand. For God himselfe doth multiply, Of his great liberality, The blessing of posterity. 4 And when the children come to age, They grow in strength and activeness, In person and in comelinesse: So that a shaft shot with courage, Of one that hath a most strong arm, Flies not so swift, nor doth like harm. 5 O well is he that hath his quiver Furnish'd with such artillerie: For when in perill he shall be, Such one shall never quake or shiver, When that he plead sbefore the Judge, Against his foes that beare him grudge.
