O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely

Hymnal: TH1990 #371 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, how lovely the place where thou dost dwell! Thy tabernacles holy in pleasantness excel. My soul is longing, fainting, Jehovah's courts to see; my heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for thee. 2 Blest who thy house inhabit, they ever give thee praise; blest all whom thou dost strengthen, who love the sacred ways. So they from strength unwearied go forward unto strength, till they appear in Zion before the Lord at length. 3 O hear, Lord God of Jacob, to me an answer yield; the face of thine anointed, behold, O God, our shield. One day excels a thousand if spent thy courts within; I'll choose thy threshold, rather than dwell in tents of sin. 4 Our sun and shield, Jehovah, will grace and glory give; no good will he deny them that uprightly do live. O God of hosts, Jehovah, how blest is ev'ryone who confidence reposes on thee, O Lord, alone.

Praise Waits for Thee in Zion

Hymnal: TH1990 #372 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Praise waits for thee in Zion; all men shall worship there and pay their vows before thee, O God who hearest prayer. Our sins rise up against us, prevailing day by day, but thou wilt show us mercy and take their guilt away. 2 How blest the man thou callest and bringest near to thee, that in thy courts forever his dwelling place may be; he shall within thy temple be satisfied with grace, and filled with all the goodness of thy most holy place. 3 O God of our salvation, since thou dost love the right, thou wilt an answer send us in wondrous deeds of might. In all earth's habitations, on all the boundless sea, man finds no sure reliance, no peace, apart from thee. 4 Thy might sets fast the mountains; strength girds thee evermore to calm the raging peoples and still the ocean’s roar. Thy majesty and greatness are through all lands confessed, and joy on earth thou sendest afar from east to west. 5 To bless the earth thou sendest from thine abundant store the waters of the springtime, enriching it once more. The seed by thee provided is sown o'er hill and plain, and thou with gentle showers dost bless the springtime grain. 6 The year with good thou crownest, the earth thy mercy fills, the wilderness is fruitful, and joyful are the hills; with corn the vales are covered, the flocks in pastures graze; All nature joins in singing a joyful song of praise.
