368. The House of God

1 Arise, O Lord, our God, arise,
And enter now into Thy rest:
O let this house be Thy abode,
Forever with Thy presence blest.

2 Thy gracious cov'nant, Lord, fulfill,
Turn not away from us Thy face;
Establish Thou Messiah's throne
And let Him reign within this place.

3 Thy Zion Thou hast chosen, Lord,
And thou hast said, I love her well,
This is my constant resting-place,
And here will I delight to dwell.

4 I will abundantly provide
For Zion's good, the Lord hat said;
I will supply her daily need
And satisfy her poor with bread.

5 Salvation shall adorn her priests,
Her saints shall shout with joy divine,
Messiah's pow'r shall be revealed,
His glory in His Church shall shine.
