VERSE 1
G A7 D A7 D
Un-less the Lord shall build the house, The wear-y build-ers toil in vain,
D7 G D A D
Un-less the Lord the cit-y shields, The guards main-tain a use-less watch.
A A7 D A A7 D
In vain you rise ere morn-ing break. And late your night-ly vig-ils keep,
D7 G D A7 D
And bread of anx-ious care par-take, God gives to His be-lov-ed sleep.
VERSE 2
G A7 D A7 D
Lo, chil-dren are the gift of God, And sons the bless-ing He com-mands,
A A7 D A A7 D
These whom in youth-ful days be-stowed, Are like the shafts in war-rior’s hands,
A A7 D A A7 D
And hap-py they whose quiv-ers bear, Full store of ar-rows such as these,
D7 G D A7 D
They in the gate are free from fear, And bold-ly face their en-e-mies.
VERSE 3
G A7 D A7 D
That man is blest who fears the Lord, Who lives and walks in all His ways
A A7 D A A7 D
For of his la-bor shall he eat, And he shall pros-per all his days.
A A7 D A A7 D
His wife shall be a fruit-ful vine, His chil-dren all like ol-ive plants.
D7 G D A7 D
Be-hold the man who fears the Lord, To him His blessing will af-ford.
