No. 122 Reflection, Moh 444
Hexatonic, mode 1 b (I II — IV V VI 7)
No sleep nor slumber to his eyes,
Good David would afford,
Till he had found below the skies
A dwelling for the Lord,
A dwelling for the Lord.
The Lord in Zion placed his name,
His ark was settled there;
And there th’assembled nation came,
To worship twice a year,
To worship twice a year.
We trace no more those toilsome ways,
Nor wander far abroad;
Where e’er thy people meet for praise,
There is a house for God,
There is a house for God.
The tune is usually attributed to Davisson, and this probably as a result of Davisson’s own claim in the Kentucky Harmony. Found also, KYH 42, UH 31, KNH 22, HOC 13, WP 36.
