'''Jeremy Belknap's Compilation (1795)''' | |||
1. Behold the rising dawn appear, | |||
Which calls our willing feet | |||
To tread Thy courts, O God, and here | |||
Our solemn vows repeat. | |||
2. Fair Zion's gates are our delight, | |||
Within her walls we stand; | |||
And all her happy sons unite | |||
In friendship's sacred bands. | |||
3. We love the place where Zion's Lord | |||
Is pleased to show His face; | |||
Here He proclaims His holy word, | |||
And here accepts our praise. | |||
4. With reverend awe and godly fear, | |||
We bow before Thy throne; | |||
For Thou the fervent prayer wilt hear, | |||
Through Thy beloved Son. | |||
3. Peace be within this hallowed place, | |||
And joy a constant guest; | |||
With holy gifts and heavenly grace, | |||
Be her attendants blest. | |||
4. Our soul shall pray for Zion still, | |||
While life or breath remains; | |||
For here our friends and brethren dwell, | |||
And here our Savior reigns.}} | |||

'''Isaac Watts' Paraphrase of Psalm 122 (1719)''' | |||
How did my heart rejoice to hear | |||
My friends devoutly say, | |||
"In Zion let us all appear, | |||
And keep the solemn day!" | |||
I love her gates, I love the road; | |||
The church, adorned with grace, | |||
Stands like a palace built for God, | |||
To show his milder face. | |||
Up to her courts with joys unknown | |||
The holy tribes repair; | |||
The Son of David holds his throne, | |||
And sits in judgment there. | |||
He hears our praises and complaints; | |||
And while his awful voice | |||
Divides the sinners from the saints, | |||
We tremble and rejoice. | |||
Peace be within this sacred place, | |||
And joy a constant guest! | |||
With holy gifts and heavenly grace | |||
Be her attendants blest! | |||
My soul shall pray for Zion still, | |||
While life or breath remains; | |||
There my best friends, my kindred dwell, | |||
There God my Savior reigns.}} | |||

'''James Merrick's Version of Psalm 122 (1765)''' | |||
1. The festal morn, my God, is come, | |||
That calls me to thy honored dome, | |||
Thy preſence to adore: | |||
My feet the summons shall attend, | |||
With willing step thy courts ascend, | |||
And tread the hallowed floor. | |||
2. Even now to our transported eyes | |||
Fair Zion's towers in prospect rise; | |||
Within her gates we stand, | |||
And, lost in wonder and delight, | |||
Behold her happy Sons unite | |||
In friendship's firmest band. | |||
3. Hither from Judah's utmost end | |||
The heaven-protected tribes ascend; | |||
Their offerings hither bring; | |||
Here, eager to attest their joy, | |||
In hymns of praise their tongues employ, | |||
And hail the immortal King. | |||
4. By His command impelled, to her | |||
contending crowds their cause refer; | |||
While princes from her throne | |||
With equal doom th'unerring law | |||
Dispense, who boast their birth to draw | |||
From Jesse's favored son. | |||
5. Be Peace by each implored on thee, | |||
O Salem, while with bended knee | |||
To Jacob's God we pray: | |||
How blest, who calls himself thy friend! | |||
Success his labor shall attend, | |||
And safety guard his way. | |||
6. O may'st thou, free from hostile fear, | |||
Nor the loud voice of tumult hear, | |||
Nor war's wild wastes deplore: | |||
May plenty nigh thee take her stand, | |||
And in thy courts with lavish hand | |||
Distribute all her store. | |||
7. Seat of my friends and brethren, hail! | |||
How can my tongue, O Salem, fail | |||
To bless thy loved abode? | |||
How cease the zeal that in me glows | |||
Thy good to seek, whose walls enclose | |||
The mansion of my God?}} | |||
