Longing for the house of God
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #156 (1787) Topics: Delight and safety in the church; Delight in God; Worship Delight in it; Delight and safety in the church; Delight in God; Worship Delight in it First Line: Lord of the worlds above Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of thy love,
Thy earthly temples are;
To thine abode
My heart aspires
With warm desires
To see my God.
2 The sparrow for her young
With pleasure seeks a nest,
And wandering swallows long
To find their wonted rest;
My spirit faints
With equal zeal
To rise and dwell
Among thy saints.
3 O happy souls that pray,
Where God appoints to hear;
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise thee still;
And happy they
That love the way
To Zion's hill.
4 They go from strength to strength
Thro' this dark vale of tears,
'Till each arrives at length,
'Till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat
When God our King
Shall thither bring
Our willing feet!
Pause.
5 To spend one sacred day
Where God and saints abide,
Affords diviner joy
Than thousand days beside:
Where God resorts,
I love it more
To keep the door,
Than shine in courts.
6 God is our sun and shield,
Our light and our defence;
With gifts his hands are fill'd,
We draw our blessings thence;
He shall bestow
On Jacob's race
Peculiar grace
And glory too.
7 The Lord his people loves;
His hand no good with-holds
From those his heart approves,
From pure and pious souls:
Thrice happy he,
O God of hosts,
Whose spirit trusts
Alone in thee. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English

How kind was thy chastizing rod,
That forc'd my Conscience to a Stand,
And brought my wand'ring Soul to GOD!
2 Foolish and vain, I went astray
Ere I had felt thy Scourges, Lord;
I left my Guide, and lost my Way;
But now I love and keep thy Word.
3 'Tis good for me to wear the Yoke,
For pride is apt to rise and swell;
'Tis good to bear my Father's Stroke,
That I might learn his Statutes well.
4 The Law that issues from thy Mouth
Shall raise my chearful Passions more
Than all the Treasures of the South,
Or Western Hills of golden Ore.

Thy Spirit form'd my Soul within;
Teach me to know thy wond'rous Name,
And guard me safe from Death and Sin.

At my Salvation shall rejoice;
For I have hoped in thy Word,
And made thy Grace my only Choice. Scripture: Psalm 119:67 Languages: English

That calls me to thy honor'd dome
Thy presence to adore;
My feet the summons shall attend,
With willing steps thy courts ascend,
And tread the hallow'd floor.
2 Hither from Judah's utmost end,
The heaven-protected tribes ascend;
Their off'rings hither bring:
Here, eager to attest their joy,
In hymns of praise their tongues employ,
And hail th' immortal king.
3 Be peace implor'd by each on thee,
O Sion, while with bended knee,
To Jacob's God we pray:
How blest who calls himself thy friend!
Success his lobor shall attend,
And safety guard his way.
4 O may'st thou, free from hostile fear,
Nor the loud voice of tumult hear,
Nor war's wild waste deplore;
May plenty nigh thee take her stand,
And in thy courts, with lavish hand,
Distribute all her store.
5 Seat of my friends and brethren, hail!
How can my tongue, O Sion, fail
To bless thy lov'd abode?
How cease the zeal that in me glows,
Thy good to seek, whose walls inclose
The mansions of my God? Scripture: Psalm 122 Languages: English

What danger shall my soul affright?
Strength of my life! what arm shall dare
To hurt whom thou hast own'd thy care?
2 One wish, with holy transport warm,
My heart has form'd, and yet shall form;
One gift I ask; that to my end
Fair Sion's dome I may attend;
3 There joyful find a sure abode,
And view the beauty of my God;
For he within his hallow'd shrine
My secret refuge shall assign.
4 When thou with condescending grace,
Hast bid me seek thy shining face,
My heart reply'd to thy kind word,
Thee will I seek, all-gracious Lord.
5 Should every earthly friend depart,
And nature leave a parent's heart;
My God, on whom my hopes depend,
Will be my father and my friend.
6 Ye humble souls, in every strait
On God with sacred courage wait;
His hand shall life and strength afford,
O ever wait upon the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English
