How Lovely is Your Church, O Lord!

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 84:1 First Line: How lovely is your church, O Lord Lyrics: How lovely is your church, O Lord, Where we can sing and pray; One day within your courts is more Than thousands far away. Within these walls we come to know Your grace, so undeserved! For at the table Christ knelt low To be the one who served. You give your Spirit’s blessings here Then send us from this place To challenge hatred, greed, and fear With gifts of love and grace. At times we’re filled with troubling doubt: “I’m old!” “I’m young!” “I’m weak!” Yet you who sent the prophets out Will give us words to speak. How lovely is your church, O Lord, When we are serving you! For when we serve the lost and poor, Your love is shining through. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

How glorious, Lord, thy temple? what desires

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 84 Lyrics: 1 How glorious, Lord, thy temple? what desires Fill my whole soul, O God? what rapture fires? How asks my glowing heart the glad employ? My limbs, my very bones, demand the joy. 3 Nigh thee, secure, her nest the sparrow builds; Thy sacred altar to the swallow yields Fit refuge for her young; in artless lays Their sweet melodious throats pour forth thy praise, 4 Thrice happy all who in thy temple dwell! Thy pow'r, thy praises, they shall constant tell, 5 Thrice happy they, who on their God rely, And with their victims to his altar hie! 6 Thro' the dry vale as they direct their way, Their thirst the cooling riv'let shall allay; To fill their cisterns, falls the kindly rain, While the vow'd victims to their God are slain. 8 Dread God of battles, hear thy servant's pray'r; O to his pious vows incline thy ear; 9 'Tis thy anointed pleads; his shield art thou; Thy own anointed with indulgence view. 10 One day within thy courts to him appears, A lot more glorious than a thousand years: The meanest office there I'd nobler own, Than 'mid the wicked an exalted throne, 11 For, like the beamy monarch of the day, Dost thou the glories of thy light display; Thou, like a shield, thy servants dost defend, And all the blessings of thy mercy send; No blessing to the righteous thou'st deny; 12 Thrice happy they, that will on thee rely!
