Why should we start, and fear to die!
Wo der Herr das Haus nicht bauet
Author: Joh. Ad. Lehmus Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 Topics: Beruflied
Wo der Herr das Haus nicht bauet
We build with fruitless Cost, unless
Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 Lyrics: 1 We build with fruitless Cost, unless
the Lord the Pile sustain;
Unless the Lord the City keep,
the Watchman wakes in vain.
2 In vain we rise before the Day,
and late to Rest repair,
Allow no Respite to our Toil,
and eat the Bread of Care.
Supplies of Life, with Ease to them,
He on his Saints bestows;
He crowns their Labour with Success,
their Nights with sound Repose.
3 Children, whose Comforts of our Life,
are Presents from the Lord;
He gives a num'rous Race of Heirs,
as Piety's Reward.
4 As Arrows in a Giant's Hand
when marching forth to War,
Ev'n so the Sons of sprightly Youth,
their Parents Safeguard are.
5 Happy the Man whose Quiver's fill'd
with these prevailing Arms;
He needs not fear to meet his Foe,
at Law, or War's Alarms.
We build with fruitless Cost, unless
Wo Gott zum Haus nicht giebt sein' Gunst
Author: Johann Kohlroß Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 Lyrics: 1 Wo Gott zum Haus nicht giebt sein' Gunst,
so arbeit't jedermann umsonst;
wo Gott die Stadt nicht selbst bewacht,
so ist umsonst der Wächter Macht.
2 Vergebens, daß ihr früh aufsteht,
dazu mit Sorgen schlafen geht,
und ess't eu'r Brod mit Ungemach:
denn wem's Gott gönnt, giebt er's im Schlaf.
3 Nun sind sein' Erben unser Kind',
die uns von Ihm gegeben sind;
gleichwie die Pfeil in's Starken Hand,
so ist die Jungend Gott bekannt.
4 Es soll und muß dem g'schehen wohl,
der dieser hat wein'n Köcher voll;
sie werden nicht zu Schand und Spott,
für ihrem Feind bewahrt sie Gott.
5 Ehr' sei Gott Vater und dem Sohn,
samt heil'gem Geist in einem Thron.
Welch's Ihm also auch sei bereit,
von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.
Amen. Topics: Gesänge von den dreien Haupt-Ständen in der christlichen Kirche

We build with fruitless toil and cost
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 Lyrics: 1 We build with fruitless toil and cost,
Unless the Lord the pile sustain;
Unless the Lord the city keeps,
The watchman waketh but in vain.
2 In vain we rise before the dawn;
In vain we late to rest repair;
Allow no respite to our toil,
And daily eat the bread of care.
3 Supplies of life, with ease to them,
The Lord to all his saints bestows;
He crowns their labours with success,
Their nights with peace and soft repose.
4 Children, those comforts of our life,
Are presents from the bounteous Lord;
He gives a num'rous race of heirs,
Of piety the sweet reward.
5 As arrows in a giant's hand,
When marching forth, equipp'd for war,
Ev'n so the sons of sprightly youth
Their parents hopeful safeguard are.
5 Happy the man, whose quivers are
Replete with those prevailing arms!
He need not fear to meet his foe,
In strifes of law, or war's alarms.
