Verses from Psalm 134: & 27 and a hymn by Christopher Wordsworth

Psalm 134: 1
Behold, bless ye the LORD, All ye servants of the LORD, Which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

1 Hark! the sound of holy voices,
chanting at the crystal sea:
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord, to thee:
multitude, which none can number,
like the stars in glory stands,
clothed in white apparel, holding
palms of vict'ry in their hands.

(part of verse 2)
saintly maiden, godly matron,
widows who have watched in prayer,
joined in holy concert, singing
to the Lord of all, are there.

Psalm 27: 5
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Psalm 27: 7
Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness: I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord.

Praise the Lord, Alleluia, Amen.
