Psalm 127
Scottish Metrical Psalter (1650)
Tune: Tallis’ Ordinal
1 Except the Lord do build the house,
the builders lose their pain:
Except the Lord the city keep,
the watchmen watch in vain.
2 'Tis vain for you to rise betimes,
or late from rest to keep,
To feed on sorrows' bread; so gives
he his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are God's heritage,
the womb's fruit his reward.
4 The sons of youth as arrows are,
for strong men's hands prepared.
5 O happy is the man that hath
his quiver filled with those;
They unashamèd in the gate
shall speak unto their foes.
I BELIEVE IN A HILL CALLED CALVARY
Verse 1
There are things as we travel this earth's shifting sands
That transcend all the reason of man;
But the things that matter the most in this world,
They can never be held in our hand.
Chorus
I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary
I'll believe, whatever the cost;
And when time has surrendered and earth is no more,
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross.
Verse 2
I believe that the Christ who was slain on that cross
Has the power to change lives today;
For He changed me completely,
A new life is mine,
That is why by the cross I will stay!
Chorus
Verse 3
I believe that this life with its great mysteries
Surely someday will come to an end;
But faith will conquer the darkness and death
And will lead me at last to my friend.
