How lovely is your dwelling-place
Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #662 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Dedication Festival; Blessing; Church Worship; Providence; Water Lyrics: 1 How lovely is your dwelling-place,
O Lord of hosts, to me;
my thirsting soul longs eagerly
within your courts to be.
2 Beside your altars, Lord of all,
the swallows find a nest;
happy are those who dwell with you
and praise you without rest;
3 And happy those whose hearts are set
upon the pilgrim ways:
you are the water when they thirst,
their guide towards your face.
4 How blest are they that in your house
for ever give you praise:
one day with you is better spent
than thousands in dark ways.
5 The Lord will hold back no good thing
from those who justly live;
to all who trust, the Lord of hosts
will all his blessings give. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: HARINGTON
How lovely is your dwelling-place
I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship
Author: William Young Fullerton (1857-1932) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #666 (2013) Topics: Children and All-Age Worship; Church year Passiontide; Fear; Future hope; Jesus coming again; Jesus Life and Ministry; Other Saints and Festivals St Stephen; Other Saints and Festivals Joseph of Nazareth; Proper 22 Year C; The First Sunday of Christmas Year A; The Third Sunday of Easter Year B Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship,
should set his love upon the sons of men,
or why, as Shepherd, he should seek the wanderers,
to bring them back, they know not how or when.
But this I know, that he was born of Mary
when Bethl'em's manger was his only home,
and that he lived at Nazareth and laboured,
and so the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is come.
2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered,
as with his peace he graced this place of tears,
or how his heart upon the cross was broken,
the crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted
and stays our sin and calms our lurking fear
and lifts the burden from the heavy laden;
for still the Saviour, Saviour of the world is here.
3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations,
how he will claim his earthly heritage,
how satisfy the needs and aspirations
of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory,
and he shall reap the harvest he has sown,
and some glad day his sun will shine in splendour
when he the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is known.
4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship,
when at his bidding every storm is stilled,
or who can say how great the jubilation
when every heart with love and joy is filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
and myriad myriad human voices sing,
and earth to heav'n, and heav'n to earth, will answer,
'at last the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is King!' Scripture: Luke 2 Languages: English Tune Title: LONDONDERRY AIR
I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship

In God’s likeness we awaken,
Knowing everlasting peace.

All that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts for ages pleading
Never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits.
Ev’ry humble spirit shares it,
Christ has passed the eternal gates.

Jesus lives who once was dead.
Shout with joy, O deathless voices!
Child of God, lift up your head!

Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When, amid earth’s closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne! Scripture: John 14:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: MISSISSIPPI
