The Lord Our Dwelling-Place

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Afflictions For sin; Afflictions From God First Line: Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth, From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2 At Thy command man fades and dies And new-born generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watches of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before this swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun, And withered ere the day is done. 4 Man in Thy anger is consumed, and unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5 For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life's day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and rev'rent though Can fear Thy anger as he ought? Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

O Thou, in Whose Presence

Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in the wilderness rove? 3 Oh, why should I wander, an alien from Thee, Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. 4 Restore, my dear Savior, the light of Thy face, Thy soul-cheering comfort impart; And let the sweet tokens of pardoning grace Bring joy to my desolate heart. 5 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for His word. He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 23:4 Used With Tune: DAVIS

Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Afflicted moderated; Grace tried by afflictions First Line: Firm and unmov'd are they Lyrics: 1 Firm and unmov'd are they That rest their Souls on GOD; Firm as the Mount where David dwelt, Or where the Ark abode. 2 As Mountains stood to guard The City's sacred Ground, So GOD, and his Almighty Love Embrace his Saints around. 3 What though the Father's Rod Drop a chastising Stroke, Yet, lest it wound their Souls too deep, Its Fury shall be broke. 4 Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose Faith and pious Fear, Whose Hope, and Love, and ev'ry grace, Proclaim their Hearts sincere. 5 Nor shall the Tyrant's Rage Too long oppress the Saint; The GOD of Isr'el will support His Children, lest they faint. 6 But if our slavish Fear Will chuse the Road to Hell, We must expect our Portion there, Where bolder Sinners dwell. Scripture: Psalm 125

O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more. 3 A place for Thy people, Thou, Lord, didst prepare, Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care; Its branches like cedars, majestic and free, Spread over the mountains from river to sea. 4 Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows, Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes; O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine, Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine. 5 The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down, Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown; The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue, The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do. 6 When Thou shalt revive us Thy name we shall praise, And nevermore, turning, depart from Thy ways; O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
