[D] [Eb] [Bb]

[F]
[Eb] [Bb]
If the Lord does [G] not [Cm] build a [Eb] house,
Then [F] in vain do the [Bb] builders labor,
And in vain does the [Cm] watchman [Gm] send [Cm] his guard.
If [F] the Lord is not [G] his help,
If [Cm] the Lord [F]
is not [Bb] his help,
[Eb] If [Gm] [Cm] a man wants [Gm] to boast,
[Bb]
[G] Let him boast in [Cm] the [Eb] Lord,
In [Fm] the Lord who is kind [Bbm] and [C] merciful,
[Bbm]
[Gm] Who [C] forgives our sin.
[F]
If [Bb] the Lord does [G] not build [Cm] a house,
[Eb]
Then [F] in vain do the builders [Bb]
labor,
And in vain does the [Eb] watchman send [Cm] his [Eb] guard.
If [F] the Lord is not [G] his help,
If [Cm] the Lord [F]
is not [Bb] his help,
[Eb] Who [Cm] is man [Eb] to [Gm] compare
[Eb] [Bb]
[G] With the Lord who [Cm] is [Eb] God?
[Fm] What is man that [Bbm] the Lord [C] should [Bbm] care
[Gm] Or that God should [C] be moved?
[F]
[Bb] If the Lord [G] does not [Cm] build a [Eb]
house,
[F] Then in vain do the builders [Bb]
labor,
And in vain does the [Eb] watchman [Gm] send [Cm] his [Eb] guard.
If [F] the Lord is not [A] his
[G] help,
If [Cm] the Lord [F]
is not [Bb] his help,
Who is man to compare
