How lovely is Thy dwelling-place
Quam dilecta
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 First Line: How pleasant is thy dwelling place! Lyrics: 1 How pleasant is thy dwelling place!
O Lord of hoasts to me!
The Tabernacles of thy grace,
how pleasant Lord they be!
2 My soule doth long full sore to go
into thy courts abroad:
My heart doth lust, my flesh also,
is thee the living God.
3 The sparrowes find a roome to rest,
and save themselves from wrong:
The eke the swallow hath a nest,
wherein to keep her young.
4 These birds full nigh thine Altar may
have place to sit and sing:
O Lord of hoasts, thou art O sau.
my God and eke my King.
5 O they be blessed that may dwell
within thy house alwaies
For they all times thy facts do tell,
and ever give thee praise.
6 Yea happy sure likewise are they
whose stay and strength thou art:
Which to thy house do mind the way,
And seek it in their heart.
7 As they go through the vale of teares,
they dig up fountaines still:
That as a spring it all appearse,
and thou their pits dost fill.
8 From strength to strength they go full fast,
no faintnesse there shall be:
And so the God of gods at last
in Sion they do see.
9 O Lord of hoasts to me give heed,
and heare when I do pray:
And let it through thine eares proceed,
O Jacob's God, I say.
10 O Lord our shield, of thy good grace,
regard, and so draw neare:
Regard, I say, behold the face
of thine anointed deare.
11 For why? within thy Courts one day
is better to abide,
Than other where to keep or stay,
a thousand daies beside.
12 Much rather had I keep a doore
within the house of God,
Than in the tents of wickednesse
to settle my abode.
13 For God the Lord light and defence,
will grace and worship give:
And no good thing will he with-hold
from them that purely live.
14 O Lord of hoasts that man is blest,
and happy sure is he,
That is perswaded in his brest,
to trust all times in thee.

The house of thine abode,
The church our blest Redeemer saved
With his own precious blood.

Her walls before thee stand,
Dear as the apple of thine eye,
And graven on thy hand.

For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

Our Saviour, and our King,
Thy hand, from every snare and foe,
Shall great deliverance bring.

And brighter bliss of heaven. Topics: The Christian Church The Sanctuary; Attachment to the Church

To-day the saints his triumphs spread,
And all his wonders tell.

To David's holy Son!
Help us, O Lord! descend and bring
Salvation from thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes, in God his Father's name,
To save our sinful race.

Shall give him nobler praise. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Blessings of the Sabbath

within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.

yet will I fear none ill;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

and in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be. Topics: Proper 19 Year C; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: CRIMOND Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650

Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 527 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:12 First Line: I'll praise my Maker while I've breath Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath;
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers.
My days of praise shall ne'er be past
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures.
2 How happy they whose hopes rely
on Israel's God, who made the sky
and earth and seas with all their train;
whose truth forever stands secure,
who saves the oppressed and feeds the poor,
and none shall find God's promise vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind
and sends the laboring conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widowed and the parentless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath;
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers.
My days of praise shall ne'er be past
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures.

Jesus, where'er thy people meet
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 515 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
there they behold thy mercy-seat;
where'er they seek thee, thou art found,
and every place is hallowed ground.
2 For thou, within no walls confined,
inhabitest the humble mind;
such ever bring thee when they come,
and, going, take thee to their home.
3 Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few,
thy former mercies here renew;
here to our waiting hearts proclaim
the sweetness of thy saving name.
4 Here may we prove the power of prayer
to strengthen faith and sweeten care,
to teach our faint desires to rise,
and bring all heaven before our eyes.
5 Lord, we are few, but thou art near;
nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear;
O rend the heavens, come quickly down,
and make a thousand hearts thine own.
