Far as Thy Name Is Known
{ Far as Thy Name Is Known SILVER STREET-Isaac Smith STATE STREET-Jonathan C. Woodman AMANTUS-C. Bryan Far as Thy Name Is Known } Far as thy name is known, The world declares thy praise; Thy saints, O Lord, before thy throne, Their songs of honor raise. With joy thy people stand On Zion's chosen hill, Proclaim the wonders of thy hand, And counsels of thy will. Let strangers walk around The city where we dwell, Compass and view thine holy ground, And mark the building well- The order of thy house, The worship of thy court, The cheerful songs, the solemn vows; And make a fair report. How decent and how wise! How glorious to behold! Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes, And rites adorned with gold. The God we worship now Will guide us till we die; Will be our God, while here below, And ours above the sky. |
