When we, our weary limbs to rest

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When we, our wearied limbs to rest, Sat down by proud Euphrates' stream, We wept with doleful thoughts oppressed, And Zion was our mournful theme. 2 Our harps, that when with joy we sung, Were wont their tuneful parts to bear, With silent strings neglected hung On willow-trees that withered there. 3 Oh Salem, our once happy seat, When I of thee forgetful prove, Let then my trembling hand forget The speaking strings with art to move! 4 If I to mention thee forbear, Perpetual silence be my doom; Or if my chiefest joy compare With thee, Jerusalem, my home!

Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 'Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear, For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord in near: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day; Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray.
