Thou, O Lord, Art God Alone

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Communion with God Lyrics: 1 Thou, O Lord, art God alone; Everlasting is Thy throne; Through the ages men shall sing Praise to heaven's eternal King. Thou, enthroned above the skies, Wilt for Zion's help arise; Let Thy grace to her appear, For the promised time is near. 2 If with love compassionate We, Thy servants, mourn her state, Wilt not Thou, O gracious Lord, Help in Zion's need afford? Lord, Thy glory shall appear, Kings and nations then shall fear; And Thy Name shall be adored When Thy Zion is restored. 3 This all ages shall record For the glory of the Lord; Thou dost hear the humble prayer, For the helpless Thou dost care. Thou eternal art, and great, Heaven and earth Thou didst create, Heaven and earth shall pass away, Changeless Thou shalt live for aye. 4 As one lays a garment by, Thou wilt change the starry sky Like a vesture worn and old; But Thy years shall ne'er be told. Thou wilt make Thy servants' race Ever live before Thy face, And forever at Thy side Children's children shall abide. Scripture: Psalm 102 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR (ELVEY)

Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling-Place

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Communion with God Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or even Thou hadst formed the earth, From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2 At Thy command man fades and dies And newborn generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watches of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before this swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun, And withered ere the day is done. 4 Man in Thy anger is consumed, And unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5 For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life's day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and reverent though Can fear Thy anger as he ought? 6 O teach Thou us to count our days And set our hearts on wisdom's ways; Turn, Lord, to us in our distress, In pity now Thy servants bless; Let mercy's dawn dispel our night, And all our day with joy be bright. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 266 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awesome is the place with Christ within the doors, while everlasting love displays the choicest of her stores. 2 While all our hearts and all our songs join to admire the feast, each of us cries, with thankful tongue, "Lord, why was I a guest? 3 "Why was I made to hear your voice, and enter while there's room, when thousands make a wretched choice, and rather starve than come?" 4 'Twas the same love that spread the feast that sweetly drew us in; else we had still refused to taste, and perished in our sin. 5 Pity the nations, O our God, constrain the earth to come; send your victorious Word abroad, and bring the strangers home. 6 We long to see your churches full, that all the chosen race may, with one voice and heart and soul, sing your redeeming grace.
