Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXXVII (1767) Lyrics: 1 GOD's Temple crowns the holy Mount,
The LORD there condescends to dwell;
His Sion's Gates, in his Account,
Our Israel's fairest Tents excell.
Fame, glorious Things of thee shall sing,
O City of th' Almighty King!
2 I'll mention Rahab with due Praise,
In Babylon's Applauses join,
The Fame of Ethiopia raise,
With that of Tyre and Palestine;
And grant that some, amongst them born,
Their Age and Country did adorn.
3 But still of Sion I'll aver,
That many such from her proceed;
Th' Almighty shall establish her;
His gen'ral Lift shall shew when read,
That such a person there was born,
And such did such an Age adorn.
7 He'll Sion find with Numbers fill'd
Of such as merit high Renown,
For Hand and Voice Musicians skill'd,
And (her transcending Fames to crown)
Of such she shall Successions bring,
Like Waters from a living Spring. Topics: Description of The Church: Glory and Renown; Prophecies Of the Calling of the Gentiles Scripture: Psalm 87 Languages: English Tune Title: [God's Temple crowns the holy Mount]

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: Franz Joseph Haydn Composer of "" in Hymnal Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.
