Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: God's Promise of Redemption Lyrics: 1 How lovely is your dwelling, O Lord of hosts, to me; my soul is longing, fainting, the courts of God to see. The beauty of your dwelling will bring me joy anew. My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for you. 2 Beneath your care the sparrow finds place for peaceful rest; to keep her young in safety the swallow finds a nest. So, Lord, my King Almighty, your love will shelter me; beneath your wings of mercy my dwelling place will be. 3 Blest they who love and serve you, whose joy and strength you are. Forever they will praise you, your ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace, and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase.

Come with All Joy to Sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: God's Promise of Redemption Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty King, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean floor to mountain crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to God who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, God alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear his voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their Saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest.
