The Fatherly Goodness of God

Hymnal: The Psalter #168 (1912) Topics: Access to God First Line: Before Thee, Lord, a people waits Lyrics: 1 Before Thee, Lord, a people waits To praise Thy Name in Zion's gates, To Thee shall vows be paid; Thou hearer of the suppliant's prayer, To Thee in need shall all repair To seek Thy gracious aid. 2 How great my trespasses appear, But Thou from guilt my soul wilt clear, And my transgressions hide. How blest Thy chosen, who by grace Are bro't within Thy dwelling-place That they may there abide. 3 The goodness of Thy house, O Lord, The joys Thy holy courts afford, Our souls shall satisfy; By deeds of might, in justice wrought, The Lord will grant us what we sought, Our Saviour, God Most High. 4 On Thy sustaining arm depend, To earth's and sea's remotest end, All men in ev'ry age; Thy strength establishes the hills, Thy word the roaring billows stills, And calms the people's rage. 5 The tribes of earth's remotest lands Behold the tokens of Thy hands And bow in godly fear; The east, where beams the morning light, The west, in evening glories bright, Rejoice, for Thou art near.

If in my heart I sin regard, My prayer He will not hear; But truly God has heard my voice, My prayer has reached His ear. 4 O let the Lord, our gracious God, Forever blessed be, Who has not turned my prayer from Him, Nor yet His grace from me. O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life, And steadfast makes our ways. Scripture: Psalm 66 Languages: English Tune Title: ANCYRA

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.
