Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless athe Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless athe Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To aeat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
To sit up late,
To aeat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
