The Lord Our Dwelling-Place

Hymnal: The Psalter #245 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Old Age First Line: Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth, From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2 At Thy command man fades and dies And new-born generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watches of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before this swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun, And withered ere the day is done. 4 Man in Thy anger is consumed, and unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5 For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life's day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and rev'rent though Can fear Thy anger as he ought?

Established evermore by thee. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: SANDS

Not to the terrors of the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #486 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Old age and resurrection; Psalm for old age Lyrics: Not to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word Which God on Sinai spoke; But we are come to Zion's hill, The city of our God, Where milder words declare his will, And spread his love abroad. Behold th' innumerable host Of angels clothed in light! Behold the spirits of the just, Whose faith is turned to sight! Behold the blest assembly there Whose names are writ in heav'n! And God, the Judge of all, declares Their vilest sins forgiv'n. The saints on earth and all the dead But one communion make; All join in Christ their living Head, And of his grace partake. In such society as this My weary soul would rest; The man that dwells where Jesus is Must be for ever blest. Scripture: Hebrews 12:18 Languages: English
