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. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: ST. EDITH Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

Mourning, and drooping, here I lie

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Mourning, and drooping, here I lie Upon this earthly Clod, While heav'nly Things invite my Eye, And bring me to my GOD. 2 Transported with a glorious View Of God's eternal Love, Unto this World I bid adieu, And long to be Above. 3 There all the Saints in Harmony Do stand forevermore, And to a vast Eternity Their glorious Lord adore, 4 Hark! Hark! Methinks I hear the Sound; Methinks the Angels sing; The glorious Melody goes round, Which makes the Heav'ns to ring. 5 The Saints above do sing a Song (In a melodious Strain) Which doth to God alone belong, And to the Lamb once slain. 6 Wonder, and Love, and Joy, and Praise, Fill all their happy Souls, While the vast Flood of sov'reign Grace Through all the Region rolls. 7 The Saints all cloth'd in white Array, Their Saviour's Praise declare; Through the bright Realms of endless Day There's not one Mourner there. 8 But oh, the Glory of the Place, No Mortal Tongue can tell! Where they behold their Saviour's Face, And in his Presence dwell. 9 Oh, how they each perform their Parts, Thro' all the happy Train! This glorious Song inspires their Hearts, Worthy the Lamb, once slain! 10 Amen, they cry, Amen, Amen, Thy Ways oh God are true; Blessing and Glory, Wisdom, and Thanksgiving is thy Due. 11 Honour, and Pow'r and endless Might, Be giv'n to Thee, oh Lord! In this sweet Song thy all unite, And sing with One Accord. 12 Oh, how the bending Seraphs join To praise the God Above! While all the Saints, in Notes Divine, Do sing redeeming Love. 13 Worthy, oh Lord, worthy art thou; To wear the glorious Crown; So all the Saints in glory bow, And cast their Di'dems down. 14 The Song eternally goes round, To him that made the Sky, I'm lost, I'm lost, to view the Bound Of vast Eternity. 15 When there have past more Million Years Than Sands upon the Shore; The Saints above will have not Fears That the blest Space is o'er, 16 If all the Drops of Oceans wide Were to be number'd o'er, And then by Millions multiply'd, And twice as many more; 17 And then as many Years should pass As Water Drops in all; Or Grains of Sand, or Spires of Grass, Upon this earthly Ball. 18 Then add as many millions more As Stars that fill the Sky; Then all that Number doubled o'er Can't mete Eternity. 19 Eternity will still remain; 'Twill be Eternity. The Song to God the THREE IN ONE Will last eternally. 20 Who can describe the Blessedness Of Pleasure ever new? I long the Glory to possess, And bid all Sin adieu. 21 Farewell my Friends, I long to go; Adieu Death, Sorrow, pain, Adieu to Fears, Adieu to woe; And Welcome endless Gain. 22 Oh, how my Soul doth long to quit This Earth, and Soar away! Oh Jesus, if it is most fit, Let not thy Chariot stay. 23 Come take my longing Spirit up, To dwell with Thee above; I long with Thee, my Lord to sup, On everlasting Love. 24 The Time seems long till Thou dost bring My Soul unto that Place, Where I thy Praise shall ever sing, And rest in thine Embrace.

Can such poor feeble worms as we

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Can such poor feeble Worms as we Praise and adore our Saviour's Name? Or bring a Tribute Lord to thee? Or half thy Pow'r and Love proclaim? 2 We stand amaz'd, when we behold Thy Glory and thy Beauty Lord! Thy Love and Grace can ne'er be told, Which thou to Mortals dost afford. 3 Yet Lord, we would attempt thy Praise, We would exalt thy Holy Name; Lord, we would walk in thy sweet Ways; And sing, and tell thy wond'rous Fame. 4 Fain would our Souls mount up to thee, And Feast forever on thy Love; And Praise the sacred Deity, As Angels do that dwell above.

Only thou the Way canst shew; Thou canst save me in this Hour, I have neither Will nor Pow'r: God if over all thou art, Greater than the sinful Heart; Let it now on me be shown, Take away the Heart of Stone. 2 Take away my darling sin, Make me willing to be clean; Make me willing to receive What thy Goodness waits to give: Force me, Lord, with all to part, Tear all Idols from my Heart; Let thy Pow'r on me be shown, Take away the Heart of Stone. 3 Jesu, mighty to renew, Work in me, to will and do; Turn my Nature's rapid Tide, Stem the Torrent of my Pride, Stop the Whirlwind of my will, Bid Corruptions, Lord, be still; Now thy Love Almighty shew, Make e'en me a Creature new. 4 Arm of God, thy Strength put on, Bow the Heavens, and come down; All mine Unbelief o'erthrow, Lay th' aspiring Mountain low; Conquer thy worst Foe in me. Get thyself the Victory, Save the vilest of the Race, Force me to be sav'd by Grace.

Author: Brorson; E. K. Homburg Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Kristi Himmelfarts Dag Til Høimesse; Christ's Ascension High Mass; Haab og Længsel efter det Himmelske; Hope and Longing for the Heavenly; Frimodighed og Glæde; Mercy and Joy; Tredie Søndag efter Paaske Til Aftensang; Third Sunday after Easter For Evening Lyrics: 1 O seierrige Frelsermand! Som bar al Verdens Synders Band, Nu tager du dit Sæde Hos Majestætens Høire Haand, At lægge Satans Magt i Baand Og ganske undertræde. Mægtig Prægtig! Triumferer, Jubilerer! Døden, Livet Er vor Jesus undergivet! 2 Den store Flok af Kerubim Og mange tusind Serafim Dig prise høit formøiet, At du os Freden haver bragt, Og til saa stor en Guddoms Pragt Og Glæde er ophøiet. Møder, Støder Glade sammen, Amen, Amen! Magt og Ære Skal vor Jesu evig være! 3 Du er vort Hoved; derimod Vi dine Lemmer, Kjød og Blod, I dig vi have Livet; Fred, Glæde, Styrke, Mod og Lyst, Forfriskelse og Hjertens Trøst Af dig os vorder givet. Sind, Mod, Liv, Blod, Hver en Draabe Synge, raabe Fuld af Glæde: Lovet Krist i Ærens Sæde! 4 Drag, Jesu, drag os efter dig! At hver fremdeles stadelig Dit Rige eftertragter; Lad os vor Vandring føre saa, At Ydmyghed kan med os gaa, Som Verdens Pragt foragter! Stød ned Stolthed Af vort Hjerte, I vor Smerte Du os minde, Hvor din Naade er at finde! 5 O Jesu, vær vort Skjul og Skjold, Vor Ros og Skat, vor Rednings Vold, Hvorpaa vi os forlade. Og søge kun vor Himmelskat; Thi Verden ligger i en Nat Af List og Løgn og Skade. Hvor vi Os i Verden vende, Kan vi kjende Nød og Plage Alle vore Ventedage. 6 Kom Naadens Throne, Jesu Krist, Du Seiers-Fyrste, Davids Kvist, At stille vore Sukke! Kom du, som var saa mild og god, At ville med dit dyre Blod Guds Hellingdom oplukke! Kom bradt, Vor Skat, Hjertemilde! Vi da ville Med dig stige Ind i søde Himmerige!
