12973. The Courts Of The Lord

1 We come, we come, a waiting band
A flock that knows the Shepherd’s name;
Our feet this holy day shall stand
Within thy gates, Jerusalem.

2 We come to join the humble train
Of those who worship and who praise,
To lift the heart, to swell the strain
To Him who lengthens out our days.

3 And He, whom yon angelic throng
Doth worship with majestic lay,
Will smile to hear the children’s song,
Will haste to bless them when they pray.

4 O, yes! we come, a waiting band,
A flock that knows the Shepherd’s name;
Our feet this holy day shall stand
Within thy courts, Jerusalem!
