O Lord of hosts, my King and God

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #P.XVIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, my King and God, How highly blest are they, Who in thy temple always dwell, And there thy praise display! 2 Thrice happy they, whose choice has thee Their sure protection made; Who long to tread the sacred ways That to thy dwelling lead! 3 For in thy courts one single day 'Tis better to attend, Than, Lord, in any place besides A thousand days to spend. 4 Much rather in God's house will I The meanest office take, Than in the wealthy tents of sin My pompous dwelling make. 5 For God, who is our sun and shield, Will grace and glory give; And no good thing will he withhold From them that justly live. 6 Thou, God, whom heav'nly hosts obey, How highly blest is he, Whose hope and trust, securely plac'd, Is still repos'd on thee!

O Lord of Hosts, my King and God

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) #P.XX (1792) Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, my King and God, How highly blest are they, Who in thy temple always dwell, And there thy praise display! 2 Thrice happy they, whose choice has thee Their sure protection made; Who long to tread the sacred ways That to thy dwelling lead! 3 Who pass through parch'd and thirsty vales, Yet no refreshment want: Their pools are fill'd with rain, which thou At their Request dost grant. 4 Thus they proceed from strength to strength, And still approach more near; Till all on Sion's holy mount Before their God appear.
