All People That on Earth Do Dwell
Glorious things of you are spoken
Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,299 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 4, Revelation The New Temple Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed you for his own abode:
on the rock of ages founded,
what can shake your sure repose?
with salvation's walls surrounded
you may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters
springing from eternal love!
well supply your sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove:
who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage?
grace, which like the Lord the giver
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering
showing that the Lord is near:
thus they march, the pillar leading,
light by night and shade by day;
daily on the manna feeding
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name:
fading are the world's best pleasures,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87:3 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: Temple Lyrics: 1 How lovely is thy dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts, to me!
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. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: BROTHER JAMES' AIR Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650 (sts. 1, 2 and opt. sts.)

Wonderful Heavenly Temple
Author: Miss Eliza E. Hewitt Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #226 (1899) Topics: Temple First Line: There's a wonderful Temple Lyrics: 1 There’s a wonderful Temple, where the songs never cease,
In the city of Zion, in the kingdom of peace;
‘Tis effulgent with glory for the Lamb is its light
And the saints of all ages in His praises unite.
Refrain:
Wonderful Heavenly Temple,
Beautiful, bright, and fair;
Wonderful Heavenly Temple,
Gather us, Saviour, there.
2 O the jubilant anthems swelling there evermore,
Like the sound of great waters as they break on the shore;
Sweet hosannas re-echo to the Lamb who was slain,
Unto Him who hath loved us, and hath washed every stain. [Refrain]
3 Help us do Thy good pleasure, help us honor Thee now,
Till we stand in Thy presence, with Thy name on each brown;
We shall wear Thy blest likeness in that Temple above,
And no sorrow shall mingle with its service of love. [Refrain]
4 Praise to Thee, God our Father, praise to Thee, gracious Son,
Praise to Thee, Holy Spirit, O Thou blest Three in One;
Thine, all power and dominion, Thine, all blessing and mighty,
In the land everlasting, in the Temple of light. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There's a wonderful Temple]

Hallelujah! Praise God in His Holy Temple
Author: Charles Villiers Stanford, 1852-1924 Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #150E (2012) Topics: Temple Lyrics: Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy temple;
praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts;
praise him for his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the blast of the ram's horn;
praise him with lyre and harp.
Praise him with timbrel and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe.
Praise him with resounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clanging cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Hallelujah!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Temples for thy worship be. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: WILSON

S. Baring-Gould
1834 - 1924 Person Name: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Topics: The Temple The People of God Author of "Onward, Christian soldiers" in The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Baring-Gould, Sabine, M.A., eldest son of Mr. Edward Baring-Gould, of Lew Trenchard, Devon, b. at Exeter, Jan. 28, 1834, and educated at Clare College, Cambridge, B.A. 1857, M.A. 1860. Taking Holy Orders in 1864, he held the curacy of Horbury, near Wakefield, until 1867, when he was preferred to the incumbency of Dalton, Yorks. In 1871 he became rector of East Mersea, Essex, and in 1881 rector of Lew Trenchard, Devon. His works are numerous, the most important of which are, Lives of the Saints, 15 vols., 1872-77; Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, 2 series, 1866-68; The Origin and Development of Religious Belief, 2 vols., 1869-1870; and various volumes of sermons. His hymns, original and translated, appeared in the Church Times; Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1868 and 1875; The People's Hymnal, 1867, and other collections, the most popular being "Onward, Christian soldiers," "Daily, daily sing the praises," the translation "Through the night of doubt and sorrow," and the exquisite Easter hymn, "On the Resurrection Morning."
His latest effort in hymnology is the publication of original Church Songs, 1884, of which two series have been already issued. In the Sacristy for Nov. 1871, he also contributed nine carols to an article on "The Noels and Carols of French Flanders.” These have been partially transferred to Chope's and Staniforth's Carol Books, and also to his Church Songs.

Joseph Medlicott Scriven
1819 - 1886 Person Name: Joseph Scriven, 1819-1886 Topics: The Temple Prayer Author of "What a friend we have in Jesus" in The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Joseph M. Scriven (b. Seapatrick, County Down, Ireland, 1819; d. Bewdley, Rice Lake, ON, Canada, 1886), an Irish immigrant to Canada, wrote this text near Port Hope, Ontario, in 1855. Because his life was filled with grief and trials, Scriven often needed the solace of the Lord as described in his famous hymn.
Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, he enrolled in a military college to prepare for an army career. However, poor health forced him to give up that ambition. Soon after came a second blow—his fiancée died in a drowning accident on the eve of their wedding in 1844. Later that year he moved to Ontario, where he taught school in Woodstock and Brantford. His plans for marriage were dashed again when his new bride-to-be died after a short illness in 1855. Following this calamity Scriven seldom had a regular income, and he was forced to live in the homes of others. He also experienced mistrust from neighbors who did not appreciate his eccentricities or his work with the underprivileged. A member of the Plymouth Brethren, he tried to live according to the Sermon on the Mount as literally as possible, giving and sharing all he had and often doing menial tasks for the poor and physically disabled. Because Scriven suffered from depression, no one knew if his death by drowning in Rice Lake was suicide or an accident.

Scriven, Joseph. Mr. Sankey, in his My Life and Sacred Songs, 1906, p. 279, says that Scriven was b. in Dublin in 1820, was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, and went to Canada when he was 25, and died there at Port Hope, on Lake Ontario, in 1886. His hymn:—
What a Friend we have in Jesus. [Jesus our Friend] was, according to Mr. Sankey, discovered to be his in the following manner: "A neighbour, sitting up with him in his illness, happened upon a manuscript of 'What a Friend we have in Jesus.' Reading it with great delight, and questioning Mr. Scriven about it, he said he had composed it for his mother, to comfort her in a time of special sorrow, not intending any one else should see it." We find the hymn in H. 1... Hastings's Social Hymns, Original and Selected, 1865, No. 242; and his Song of Pilgrimage, 1886, No. 1291, where it is attributed to "Joseph Scriven, cir. 1855." It is found in many modern collections.
