How Pleasant

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 354 hymnals Topics: Doubt First Line: How pleasant and divinely fair Lyrics: 1 How pleasant, how divinely fair, O LORD of hosts, your dwellings are! With long desire my spirit faints to see the shining hosts of saints. My flesh would rest in you abode; my weary heart cries out for God: "My God! My King! Why should I stay far from the joys of endless day?" 2 The sparrow has a place to rest, and for her young provides a nest, but will my God to them alone pour out his mercy from the throne? Blest are the saints who dwell on high around your throne, above the sky; their brightest glories shine above, and all their work is praise and love. 3 Great God, attend, while Zion sings the joy that from your presence springs; to spend a day within your courts exceeds a thousand days apart. You are our sun, you bless our day; and you our shield, to guard our way from all assaults of hell and sin, from foes without and fears within. 4 All needed grace you will bestow, and crown that grace with glory too; you give all things, and you withhold no heav'nly good from upright souls. O God our King, whose sov'reign sway the glorious hosts of heav'n obey, display your grace, exert your pow'r, till all on earth your name adore. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: AMIABLE

When darkness long has veil'd my mind

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 When darkness long has vail'd my mind, And smiling day once more appears, Then, my Redeemer! then I find The folly of my doubts and fears. 2 I chide my unbelieving heart; And blush that I should ever be Thus prone to act so base a part, Or harbour one hard thought of thee! 3 O let me then at length be taught (What I am still so slow to learn,) That God is love, and changes not, Nor knows the shadow of a turn. 4 Sweet truth, and easy to repeat! But when my faith is sharply try'd I find myself a learner yet,-- Unskillful, weak, and apt to slide. 5 But, O my Lord, one look from thee Subdues the disobedient will; Drives doubt and discontent away, And thy rebellious worm is still. 6 Thou art as ready to forgive, As I am ready to repine; Thou, therefore, all the praise receive; Be shame, and self-abhorrence, mine.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Topics: Doubts and fears suppressed; Fears and doubts suppressed Lyrics: Thou whom my soul admires above All earthly joy and earthly love, Tell me, dear Shepherd, let me know, Where doth thy sweetest pasture grow? Where is the shadow of that rock, That from the sun defends thy flock? Fain would I feed among thy sheep, Among them rest, among them sleep. Why should thy bride appear like one That turns aside to paths unknown? My constant feet would never rove, Would never seek another love. [The footsteps of thy flock I see; Thy sweetest pastures here they be; A wondrous feast thy love prepares, Bought with thy wounds, and groans, and tears. His dearest flesh he makes my food, And bids me drink his richest blood: Here to these hills my soul will come, Till my Beloved lead me home.] Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:7
