The Hymnal ‎#136

136. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place

1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place
In every generation;
Thy people still have known Thy grace,
And blessed Thy consolation:
Through every age Thou heard'st our cry;
Through every age we found Thee nigh,
Our Strength and our Salvation.

2 Our cleaving sins we oft have wept,
And oft Thy patience provèd;
But still Thy faith we fast have kept,
Thy Name we still have lovèd;
And Thou hast kept and loved us well,
Hast granted us in Thee to dwell,
Unshaken, unremovèd.

3 No, nothing from those arms of love
Shall Thine own people sever;
Our Helper never will remove.
Our God will fail us never.
Thy people, Lord, have dwelt in Thee,
Our dwelling-place Thou still wilt be
For ever and for ever.

Amen.
