The Tender Love a Father Has

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Year C, Ordinary Time after Pentecost, August 21-27 Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has for all his children dear-- such love the Lord bestows on those who worship him in fear. 2 The Lord remembers we are dust, and all our frailty knows; our life is like the tender grass, and as the flower it grows. 3 The flower is withered by the wind that smites with blighting breath; so we are quickly swept away before the blast of death. 4 Unchanging is the love of God, from age to age the same, displayed to all who do his will and reverence his name. 5 Those who his gracious covenant keep the Lord will ever bless; their children's children shall rejoice to see his righteousness.

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.

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 Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE
