THE PSALMS of DAVID, PSALM LXXXVII
by John Barnard (1815–1882)
Jehovah, in the holy Mounts, Has his Foundation laid. His Love's, to Sion's Gates, more than All Iacob's Tents, display'd. Most glorious Things are spoke of thee, And spread thy Fame abroad, O thou Ierusalem; which art The City of our God. Egypt, and Babylon, I'll name, (They somewhat have me known,) Philistia, Tyre, and Cush; lo there Sprang some of great Renown. But this of Sion shall be said, There many such were born; And the Most-High himself shall her Establish, and adorn. The Lord, when he makes up the Roll, Shall note, There born was he. There Singers, and sweet Harpers, join; My Springs are all in Thee.
