Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840

Hymn 7 P.M. 1. O happy souls who pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O happy saints who pay
Their constant service there!
We praise him still,
And happy we,
Who love the way
To Zion's hill.

2. No burning heats by day,
Nor blasts of evening air,
Shall take our health away,
If God be with us there:
He is our sun,
And he our shade,
To guard the head
By night or noon.

3. God is the only Lord,
Our shield and our defence;
With gifts his hands are stored,
We draw our blessings thence;
He will bestow,
On Jacob's race,
Peculiar grace,
And glory too.
