The names, the king, the ark, and the house of God.

The crown fell low, the tribes drew near And David rose

in holy fear Bring up the ark, lift up the song

The Lord remembered His people so long Remember the house, remember

the name The promise still stands through sorrow and flame

The

Levites came with irreverent hands The trumpets cried through all the

land David bowed beneath the blade And cried for mercy

where he prayed At Ornan's floor,

the altar burned The wrath was stained, the people turned The

place of fear, the place of flame Became the ground to

bear his name

Bring up the ark, lift up the song The Lord remembered

his people so long Prepare the house, prepare the throne The

work is his,

the name alone Solomon, rise,

Be strong, take heart.

The house is his. The work shall start.
