Ezekiel's Vision of the dry Bones

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Worship Hymns Before Sermon First Line: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, See Adam's race in ruin lie; Sin spreads its trophies o'er the ground, And scatters slaughter'd heaps around. 2 And can these mouldering corpses live? And can these perish'd bones revive. That mighty God, to thee is known; That wondrous work is all thy own. 3 Thy ministers are sent in vain To prophesy upon the slain; In vain they call, in vain they cry, 'Till thine almighty aid is nigh. 4 But if thy spirit deign to breathe, Life spreads thro' all the realms of death: Dry bones obey thy powerful voice; They move, they waken, they rejoice, 5 So when thy trumpet's awful sound Shall shake the Heav'ns and rend the ground Dead saints shall from their tombs arise, And spring to life beyond the skies. Scripture: Ezekiel 37:3

Celestial Light their steps surround, And shew the Jubilee begun, Which thro' eternal Years shall run. Scripture: Psalm 89:15

God's presence in his House

Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: My soul how lovely is the place Lyrics: 1 My soul how lovely is the place To which thy God resorts! 'Tis heav'n to see his smiling face, Though in his earthly courts. 2 There the great Monarch of the skies His saving pow'r displays, And light breaks in upon our eyes, With kind and quick'ning rays. 3 With his rich gifts the heav'nly dove Descends and fills the place, While Christ reveals his wond'rous love And sheds abroad his grace. 4 There mighty God thy words declare The secrets of thy will; And still we seek thy mercy there, And sing thy praises still. My heart and flesh cry out for thee, While far from thine abode; When shall I tread thy courts, and see My Savior and my God? The sparrow builds herself a nest, And suffers no remove; O make me, like the sparrows, blest, To dwell but where I love. To sit one day beneath thine eye, And hear thy gracious voice, Exceeds a whole eternity Employed in carnal joys. Lord, at thy threshold I would wait While Jesus is within, Rather than fill a throne of state, Or live in tents of sin. Could I command the spacious land, And the more boundless sea, For one blest hour at thy right hand I'd give them both away. Scripture: Psalm 84

Appears in 197 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Eternal Wisdom thee we praise Lyrics: 1 Eternal wisdom, thee we praise, Thee the creation sings With thy lov'd name, rocks, hills and seas And heav'n's high palace rings. 2 Thy hand how wide it spread the sky! How glorious to behold! Ting'd with a blue of heavenly dye, And starr'd with sparkling gold. 3 Thy glorious blaze all nature round, And strike the gazing sight, Thro' skies, and seas, and solid ground With terror and delight. 4 Infinite strength, and equal skill, Shine thro' the worlds abroad, Our souls with vast amazement fill, And speak the builder GOD. 5 But the sweet beauties of thy grace Our softer passions move; Pity divine in JESUS' face We see, adore, and love.
