Unless the Lord the House Shall Build
Unless the Lord; the house shall buildThe weary builders toil in vainUnless the Lord; the city shieldThe guards; a useless watch maintainIn vain you rise ere morning breakAnd late your nightly vigils keepAnd of the bread of toil partakeGod gives to his beloved, sleep.Lo, children are the gift of God(Lo, children are the gift of God)And sons the blessing he commandsThese when in youthful days bestowedAre like the shafts in warrior's hands(Are like the shafts in warrior's hands)And happy they whose quivers bearFull store of arrows such as theseThey in the gate are free from fearAnd boldly face their enemies
