here faith can touch and handle things unseen;
I will grasp with firmer hand your grace,
and all my weariness upon you lean.
2 Here I will feed upon the bread of God,
here drink with you the royal wine of heaven;
here I will lay aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 Mine is the sin, but yours the righteousness;
mine is the guilt, but yours the cleansing blood:
here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace;
your blood, your righteousness, O Lord, my God.
4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear;
the feast, though not the love, is past and done:
gone are the bread and wine, but you are here,
nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.
5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,
yet, passing, points to that glad feast above;
giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Author: William Kethe; Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:11 Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His pow'r and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder clouds form,
And bright is His path on the wings of the storm.
3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
Amen.

bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.

high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on his shrine.

he will accept for the name that is dear;
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

I am filled with grace and glory,
And in Jesus I abide;

Seeking everywhere for rest and finding none;
Yes, my search for satisfaction while in sin was all in vain,
But I’ve found it in God’s well beloved Son. [Refrain]

Something that would quench the thirsting of my soul;

And the sparkling waters of life’s river gleam,
Where the gloomy shades of darkness are dispelled by heaven’s light;
And I’m ever drinking of that living stream.

do but themselves confound;

but he will have a right
to be a pilgrim.

can daunt his spirit;
he knows he at the end
shall life inherit.

he'll labour night and day

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

source of purest pleasure,

and my heart has fainted,
thirsting, Lord, for thee!
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb:
nothing in the world can hide thee;
naught I ask beside thee.

foes who would oppress me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear;
lightnings flash and thunders crash:
yet, though sin and hell assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Hence, all fears and sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in:
God, who dearly loves us,
from all trial saves us;
gives sweet peace within;
I have borne this worldly scorn;
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure!

Psalm 84
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 501 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 First Line: Lord of the worlds above Lyrics:
Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of thy love,
Thy earthly temples are!
To thine abode
My heart aspires,
With warm desires
To see my God.
The sparrow for her young
With pleasure seeks a nest,
And wand'ring swallows long
To find their wonted rest:
My spirit faints
With equal zeal
To rise and dwell
Among thy saints.
O happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise thee still
And happy they
That love the way
To Zion's hill.
They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heav'n appears:
O glorious seat,
When God our King
Shall thither bring
Our willing feet!
To spend one sacred day
Where God and saints abide,
Affords diviner joy
Than thousand days beside:
Where God resorts,
I love it more
To keep the door
Than shine in courts.
God is our sun and shield,
Our light and our defence;
With gifts his hands are filled,
We draw our blessings thence:
He shall bestow
On Jacob's race
Peculiar grace
And glory too.
The Lord his people loves;
His hand no good withholds
From those his heart approves,
From pure and pious souls:
Thrice happy he,
O God of hosts,
Whose spirit trusts
Alone in thee.

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, how lovely
the place where thou dost dwell!
Thy tabernacles holy
in pleasantness excel.
My soul is longing, fainting,
Jehovah's courts to see;
my heart and flesh are crying,
O living God, for thee.
2 Blest who thy house inhabit,
they ever give thee praise;
blest all whom thou dost strengthen,
who love the sacred ways.
So they from strength unwearied
go forward unto strength,
till they appear in Zion
before the Lord at length.
3 O hear, Lord God of Jacob,
to me an answer yield;
the face of thine anointed,
behold, O God, our shield.
One day excels a thousand
if spent thy courts within;
I'll choose thy threshold, rather
than dwell in tents of sin.
4 Our sun and shield, Jehovah,
will grace and glory give;
no good will he deny them
that uprightly do live.
O God of hosts, Jehovah,
how blest is ev'ryone
who confidence reposes
on thee, O Lord, alone.

of music, grandeur, light;
toward whom the soaring arches
aspire beyond their height:
as beauty draws us to you
within this house of prayer,
let worship form and feed us
to help us show your care.

and fill us with your grace.

enflame our hearts with joy:
here let a love be kindled
that death cannot destroy.
3 O Christ, who cleansed the temple,
baptize us with your zeal,
and teach us your compassion
to love, forgive, and heal.

and mark us as your own,
then send us forth in witness
to make your mercy known. Topics: Praise of God; Baptism (general) Used With Tune: KING'S LYNN

As dawns the solemn brightness of
Another glad New Year.

Encompasseth our way;
The fullness of His promises
Crowns every brightening day;
The fullness of His glory
Is beaming from above,
While more and more we learn to know
The fullness of His love.
3 Oh, let our adoration
For all that He hath done
Peal out beyond the stars of God,
While voice and life are one;
And let our consecration
Be real and deep and true;
O even now our hearts shall bow,
And joyful vows renew.
4 Now onward, ever onward,
From strength to strength we go,
While grace for grace abundantly
Shall from His fullness flow,
To glory’s full fruition,
From glory’s foretaste here,
Until His very presence crown
Our happiest New Year.

O Lord of hosts, to me;
my soul is longing, fainting,
the courts of God to see.
The beauty of your dwelling
will bring me joy anew.
My heart and flesh are crying,
O living God, for you.
2 Beneath your care the sparrow
finds place for peaceful rest;
to keep her young in safety
the swallow finds a nest.
So, Lord, my King Almighty,
your love will shelter me;
beneath your wings of mercy
my dwelling place will be.
3 Blest they who love and serve you,
whose joy and strength you are.
Forever they will praise you,
your ways are in their heart.
Though tried, their tears like showers
shall fill the springs of peace;
and all the way to Zion
their strength shall still increase.

Psalm 84: How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
Author: Arlo D. Duba, b. 1929 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 First Line: How lovely, Lord, how lovely is your abiding place Lyrics: 1
How lovely, Lord, how lovely is your abiding place;
my soul is longing, fainting, to feast upon your
grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter, a place to build her
nest,
and so your temple calls us within its walls to rest.
2
In your blest courts to worship, O God, a single day
is better than a thousand if I from you should stray.
I’d rather keep the entrance and claim you as my
Lord
than revel in the riches the ways of sin afford.
3
A sun and shield forever are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings; no good will you
deny.
The saints, your grace receiving, from strength to
strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers of blessing overflow.

Refrain First Line: I sing because I'm happy (Feliz, cantando alegre) Lyrics: 1 Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for heav’n and home;
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant Friend is he;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.
Refrain:
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free;
For his eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.
2 “Let not your heart be troubled,”
His tender word I hear,
And resting on his goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path he leadeth,
But one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me. [Refrain]
3 Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise;
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to him,
From care he sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me. [Refrain]

1 ¿Cómo podré estar triste?
¿Cómo entre sombras ir?
¿Cómo sentirme solo
y en el dolor vivir?
Si Cristo es mi consuelo,
mi amigo siempre fiel,
si aun la aves tienen
seguro asilo en él,
si aun las aves tienen
seguro asilo en él.
Estribillo:
¡Feliz, cantando alegre,
yo vivo siempre aquí;
si él cuida de las aves,
cuidará también de mí!
2 "Nunca te desalientes",
oigo al Señor decir:
y en su palabra fiado,
hago al dolor huir.
A Cristo, paso a paso
yo sigo sin cesar,
y todas sus bondades
por siempre me ha de dar,
y todas sus bondades
por siempre me ha de dar. [Estribillo]
3 Siempre que soy tentado,
o si en la prueba estoy,
más cerca de él camino,
y protegido voy;
si en mí la fe desmaya
y sufro de ansiedad,
tan solo él me levanta,
me da seguridad,
tan solo él me levanta,
me da seguridad. [Estribillo] Topics: Aliento; Encouragement; Comfort; Consuelo; Confianza; Trust; Faith; Fe; Providence; Providencia Used With Tune: SPARROW

Lord God of hosts, how lovely
Pleasant are thy courts above
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 248 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 Lyrics:
Pleasant are thy courts above,
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are thy courts below,
In this land of sin and woe.
O my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of thy saints,
For the brightness of thy face,
For thy fullness, God of grace!
Happy birds that sing and fly
Round thy altars, O Most High!
Happier souls that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast!
Like the wandering dove, that found
No repose on earth around,
They can to their ark repair
And enjoy it ever there.
425
Happy souls! their praises flow
Ever in this vale of woe;
Waters in the desert rise,
Manna feeds them from the skies:
On they go from strength to strength
Till they reach thy throne at length,
At thy feet adoring fall,
Who hast led them safe through all.
Lord, be mine this prize to win;
Guide me through a world of sin;
Keep me by thy saving grace;
Give me at thy side a place.
Sun and shield alike thou art;
Guide and guard my erring heart.
Grace and glory flow from thee;
Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me!
Amen.

Y servirte con fervor.

Al sediento, en su aflicción,
De la vida el manantial,
De tu amor precioso don.
