Psalm 134 (Ecce nunc)

by Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke 1561–1621


You that Jehovas servants are,
Whose carefull watch, whose watchfull care
Within his house are spent;
Say thus, with one assent,
Jehovas name be praised.
Then let your handes be raised
To holiest place,
Where holiest grace
Doth ay
Remaine:
And say
Againe,
Jehovas name be praised.
Say last unto the company,
Who tarrying make
Their leave to take,
All blessings you accompany,
From him in plenty showered,
Whom Sion holds embowered,
Who heav'n and earth of nought hath raised.
