Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Pleasures of Worship First Line: Thou, Lord, my safety, thou my Light Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, my safety, thou my light, What danger shall my soul affright? Strength of my life! what arm shall dare To hurt whom thou hast own'd thy care? 2 One wish, with holy transport warm, My heart has form'd, and yet shall form; One gift I ask; that to my end Fair Sion's dome I may attend; 3 There joyful find a sure abode, And view the beauty of my God; For he within his hallow'd shrine My secret refuge shall assign. 4 When thou with condescending grace, Hast bid me seek thy shining face, My heart reply'd to thy kind word, Thee will I seek, all-gracious Lord. 5 Should every earthly friend depart, And nature leave a parent's heart; My God, on whom my hopes depend, Will be my father and my friend. 6 Ye humble souls, in every strait On God with sacred courage wait; His hand shall life and strength afford, O ever wait upon the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 27

Zeal for the house of God, and delight in worship

Author: Marrick Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Pleasures of Worship First Line: The joyful morn, my God, is come Lyrics: 1 The joyful morn, my God, is come That calls me to thy honor'd dome Thy presence to adore; My feet the summons shall attend, With willing steps thy courts ascend, And tread the hallow'd floor. 2 Hither from Judah's utmost end, The heaven-protected tribes ascend; Their off'rings hither bring: Here, eager to attest their joy, In hymns of praise their tongues employ, And hail th' immortal king. 3 Be peace implor'd by each on thee, O Sion, while with bended knee, To Jacob's God we pray: How blest who calls himself thy friend! Success his lobor shall attend, And safety guard his way. 4 O may'st thou, free from hostile fear, Nor the loud voice of tumult hear, Nor war's wild waste deplore; May plenty nigh thee take her stand, And in thy courts, with lavish hand, Distribute all her store. 5 Seat of my friends and brethren, hail! How can my tongue, O Sion, fail To bless thy lov'd abode? How cease the zeal that in me glows, Thy good to seek, whose walls inclose The mansions of my God? Scripture: Psalm 122

In whose obedient heart she reigns; He owns, and will forever own. Wisdom, and Christ, and heaven are one. Scripture: Proverbs 3:13-18

My Soul forsakes her vain Delight

Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Sinful Pleasures forsaken Lyrics: 1 My Soul forsakes her vain Delight, And bids the World farewel; Base as the Dirt beneath my Feet, And mischievous as Hell. 2 No longer will I ask your Love, Nor seek your Friendship more; The Happiness that I approve, Lies not within your Pow'r. 3 There's nothing round this spacious Earth That suits my large Desire; To boundless Joy and solid Mirth My nobler Thoughts aspire. [4 Where Pleasure rolls its living Flood, From Sin and Dross refin'd, Still springing from the Throne of God, And fit to cheer the Mind. 5 Th' Almighty Ruler of the Sphere, The Glorious and the Great, Brings his own All-sufficience there, To make our Bliss complete.] 6 Had I the Pinions of a Dove, I'd climb the heav'nly Road; There sits my Saviour drest in Love, And there my smiling God.
