Delight in the House of God
Hymnal: The Psalter #225 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Steadfastness First Line: How dear to me, O Lord of Hosts Lyrics: 1 How dear to me, O Lord of hosts,
The place where Thou dost dwell;
The tabernacles of Thy grace
In pleasantness excel.

Thy sacred courts to see;
My thirsting heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for Thee.
2 Beneath Thy care the sparrow finds
A place of peaceful rest;
Where she may safely lay her young
The swallow finds a nest;
Then, Lord of Hosts, my King, my God,
Thy love will shelter me;
Beneath Thy altar's peaceful shade
My dwelling-place shall be.
3 Blest they who dwell within Thy house,
Their perfect strength Thou art;
Their joyful praise shall never cease,

Sweet springs of joy shall fill;
With strength renewed they journey safe
To Zion's holy hill. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: ERSKINE

Until we attain;

Who endureth, life secureth,
And the prize shall gain.

For the truth and right;
Draw us nearer, show us clearer,
Lord, Thy Spirit’s might;
Let Thy word its strength impart
To each sad and yearning heart;
Praise abounding shall be sounding,
At Thy throne of light.
3 In the sorrow which the morrow
May around us roll,
Hold us ever, leave us never,
Save, O save the soul!
Through temptation’s daily strife,
Through the vanities of life,
Lead us onward, forward, upward,
To our glorious goal. Languages: English Tune Title: STRIVING

with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
2 O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever-joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
and keep us strong in grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.

for all that has been given,
the Son, and Spirit blest
who dwell in highest heaven,
the one eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be, evermore.

et, jusqu'au dernier jour,
il est notre berger.

Que notre vie entière
tous nous vivions joyeux
sous le regard du Père;
qu'il nous tienne en sa grâce
et nous guide toujours,
nous garde du malheur
par son unique amour.

qui règne dans la gloire,
chrétiens, empressons-nous
de chanter la victoire;

et nous fait retrouver
le chemin de l'amour
et de la liberté. Languages: English; French Tune Title: NUN DANKET

glad of heart your carols raise;
ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven
who, like me, should sing God's praise?
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the Maker all your days!

shown our forebears in distress;
God is still the same forever,
slow to chide, and swift to bless:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Sing our Maker's faithfulness!

God knows well our feeble frame;
gladly all our burdens bearing,
still to countless years the same.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
All within me, praise God's name!
4 Frail as summer's flower we flourish,
blows the wind and it is gone;
but, while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise the high eternal one.
5 Angels, teach us adoration,
you behold God face to face;
sun and moon and all creation,
dwellers all in time and space.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise with us the God of grace! Tune Title: PRAISE, MY SOUL
