Optional stanza from Psalm 23: Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me, and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be; and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be.

Let your light so shine around you that God's name is glorified; and all find fresh hope and purpose in Christ Jesus crucified. 3 Once you were an alien people, strangers to God's heart of love; but he brought you home in mercy, citizens of heav'n above. Let his love flow out to others, let them feel a Father's care; that they too may know his welcome and his countless blessings share. 4 Church of God, elect and holy, be the people he intends; strong in faith and swift to answer each command your master sends: royal priests, fulfill your calling through your sacrifice and prayer; give your lives in joyful service, sing his praise, his love declare.

God and His Church

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Dedication of Church First Line: Gracious Lord, remember David Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, remember David, How he made Thy house his care, How he vowed to seek no pleasure Till Thy house he should prepare. Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God, Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God. 2 Far away God's ark was resting; It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let thy priest be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This my resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow, On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow; All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame, But His crown shall ever flourish Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish, Blessed be His holy Name.
