51 O Thou, Jehovah, shalt endure
Words: Scottish Psalter Music: Bristol Tune Book (1863)
1 O Thou, Jehovah shalt endure
From change and all mutation free:
And to all generations sure
Shall Thy remembrance ever be.
2 Thou shalt arise, and mercy yet
To chosen Zion shalt extend;
The time to favour her is set:
Her sorrows soon shall have an end.
3 Thy saints take pleasure in her stones,
Her very dust to them is dear.
All heathen lands and kingly thrones
On earth Thy glorious Name shall fear.
4 God in His glory shall appear
When Zion is rebuilt again.
He shall regard and lend His ear
Unto the humble prayer of men.
5 The needy's prayer He will not scorn;
All times this shall be on record:
And generations yet unborn
Shall praise and magnify the Lord.
