Psalm 48
Repeat the last line of each verse

 
 1 

O walk about, walk about Zion,

Go round about her in love.

O walk about, walk about Zion

And count the towers thereof.

 
 2 

O set your heart on her bulwarks,

O set your heart on her walls,

O set your heart on her bulwarks,

Consider her palaces.

 
 3 

In elevation how beauteous,

The joy of all the earth!

In elevation how beauteous

Is Zion, that city of worth!

 
 4 

O there is a river in Zion

That flows so deep and so broad.

O how the streams of that river

Make glad the city of God!

 
 5 

Praise waiteth for Thee, Lord, in Zion,

Praise waiteth, O God, for Thee,

Praise waiteth for Thee, Lord, in Zion,

For Zion is filled with Thee.

 
 6 

How great the Lord is in Zion,

How greatly to be praised,

How great He is in that city

Which over the earth is raised.

 
 7 

O bless the Lord out of Zion,

O let His praises swell,

O bless the Lord out of Zion,

Ye who in Jerusalem dwell.

 
 8 

The Lord bless thee out of Zion,

The Lord bless thee o'er and o'er!

The Lord bless thee out of Zion

With life for evermore!

 
 9 

Behold how good and how pleasant

With all the brethren to be!

Behold how good and how pleasant

To dwell in unity!

 
 10 

O tell it to all generations,

O tell it to all who will come,

O tell it to all generations,

The Spirit and Bride say, "Come!"
