And on this rock our faith may rest

In endless blessings reign. Languages: English

Ezekiel's Vision of the dry Bones
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship Hymns Before Sermon First Line: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
See Adam's race in ruin lie;
Sin spreads its trophies o'er the ground,
And scatters slaughter'd heaps around.
2 And can these mouldering corpses live?
And can these perish'd bones revive.
That mighty God, to thee is known;
That wondrous work is all thy own.
3 Thy ministers are sent in vain
To prophesy upon the slain;
In vain they call, in vain they cry,
'Till thine almighty aid is nigh.
4 But if thy spirit deign to breathe,
Life spreads thro' all the realms of death:
Dry bones obey thy powerful voice;
They move, they waken, they rejoice,
5 So when thy trumpet's awful sound
Shall shake the Heav'ns and rend the ground
Dead saints shall from their tombs arise,
And spring to life beyond the skies.

God's presence in his House
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXXVII (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: My soul how lovely is the place Lyrics: 1 My soul how lovely is the place
To which thy God resorts!
'Tis heav'n to see his smiling face,
Though in his earthly courts.

His saving pow'r displays,
And light breaks in upon our eyes,
With kind and quick'ning rays.

Descends and fills the place,
While Christ reveals his wond'rous love
And sheds abroad his grace.
4 There mighty God thy words declare
The secrets of thy will;
And still we seek thy mercy there,
And sing thy praises still.
My heart and flesh cry out for thee,
While far from thine abode;
When shall I tread thy courts, and see
My Savior and my God?
The sparrow builds herself a nest,
And suffers no remove;
O make me, like the sparrows, blest,
To dwell but where I love.
To sit one day beneath thine eye,
And hear thy gracious voice,
Exceeds a whole eternity
Employed in carnal joys.
Lord, at thy threshold I would wait
While Jesus is within,
Rather than fill a throne of state,
Or live in tents of sin.
Could I command the spacious land,
And the more boundless sea,
For one blest hour at thy right hand
I'd give them both away.

Made lower than his angels are,
To save a dying worm?
