Your people, Lord, have dwelt in you; and you remain our dwelling true for ever and for ever.

Sun

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:11 First Line: Great God, amid the darksome night Lyrics: 1 Great God, amid the darksome night, Thy glories dart upon my sight, While, wrapt in wonder, I behold The silver moon and stars of glod. 2 But when I see the sun arise, And pour his glories o'er the skies, In more stupendous forms I view Thy greatness and thy goodness too. 3 Thy sun of suns, whose dazzling light Tries and confounds an angel's sight, How shall I glance mine eye at thee In all thy vast immensity? 4 Yet I may be allow'd to trace The distant shadow of thy face, As in the pale and sickly moon We trace the image of the sun. 5 In every work thy hands have made Thy power and wisdom are display'd; But, O! what glories all divine In my incarnate Savior thine! 6 He is my sun, beneath his wings My soul securely sits and sings; And there enjoys like those above, The balmy influence of thy love. 7 O may the vital strength and heat His cheering beams communicate, Enable me my course to run With the same vigor as the sun!

Oh, who is it like the Mighty One

Author: Moir Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:2 Lyrics: Oh, who is like the Mighty One, Whose throne is in the sky? Who compasseth the universe With his all-searching eye; At whose creative word appeared The dry land and the sea: My spirit thirsts for thee, O Lord, My spirit thirsts for thee! 2 Around him suns and systems swim In harmony and light; Before him, harps angelic hymn His praises day and night. Yet to the contrite, night and day, In mercy turneth he: My spirit thirsts for thee, O Lord, My spirit thirsts for thee! 3 Yea! though his works are infinite, His power upholds them all; He clothes the lilies of the field, And marks the sparrow's fall. Who listens to the raven's cry, Will bend his ear to me: My spirit thirsts for thee, O Lord, My spirit thirsts for thee! Topics: Attributes of God Omniscience; Supreme and All-seeing
