How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #84E (2012) Topics: God's Promise of Redemption Lyrics: 1 How lovely is thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts, to me! My thirsty soul desires and longs within thy courts to be; my very heart and flesh cry out, O living God, for thee. 2 Beside thine altars, gracious Lord, the swallows find a nest; how happy they who dwell with thee and praise thee without rest, and happy they whose hearts are set upon the pilgrims' quest. 3 They who go through the desert vale will find it filled with springs, and they shall climb from height to height till Zion's temple rings with praise to thee, in glory throned, Lord God, great King of kings. 4 One day within thy courts excels a thousand spent away; how happy they who keep thy laws nor from thy precepts stray, for thou shalt surely bless all those who live the words they pray. Optional stanza from Psalm 23: Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me, and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be; and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be.

How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely

Author: Arlo D. Duba Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #84C (2012) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: God's Promise of Redemption Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely is your abiding place; my soul is longing, fainting, to feast upon your grace. The sparrow finds a shelter, a place to build her nest, and so your temple calls us with in its walls to rest. 2 In your blest courts to worship, O God, a single day is better than a thousand if I from you should stray. I’d rather keep the entrance and claim you as my Lord than revel in the riches the ways of sin afford. 3 A sun and shield forever are you, O Lord Most High; you shower us with blessings; no good will you deny. The saints, your grace receiving, from strength to strength shall go, and from their life shall rivers of blessing overflow. Scripture: Psalm 84 Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #87D (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: God's Promise of Redemption Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87 Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
