The House of Prayer

Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #381 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) First Line: Thy mansion is the Christian's heart Lyrics: 1 Thy mansion is the Christian’s heart, O Lord, thy dwelling-place secure! Bid the unruly throng depart, And leave the consecrated door. 2 Devoted as it is to thee, A thievish swarm frequents the place; They steal away my joys from me, And rob my Saviour of his praise. 3 There, too, a sharp designing trade, Sin, Satan, and the world maintain; Nor cease to press me, and persuade To part with ease and purchase pain. 4 I know them, and I hate their din; Am weary of the bustling crowd; But while their voice is heard within, I cannot serve thee as I would. 5 O for the joy thy presence gives; What peace shall reign when thou art here; Thy presence makes this den of thieves A calm, delightful house of prayer. 6 And if thou make thy temple shine, Yet, self-abased, will I adore; The gold and silver are not mine; I give thee what was thine before.

Thy Mansion Is the Christian's Heart

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #505 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Rejoice in the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy mansion is the Christian’s heart; let all but thoughts of thee depart! A Lord, thy dwelling place prepare; what peace shall reign when thou art there! 2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw; prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, gives exercise to faith and love, bring ev'ry blessing from above. 3 Restaining prayer, we cease to fight; prayer keeps the Christian's armor bright; and Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees. 4 When Moses stood with arms spread wide, success was found on Israel's side; but when through weariness they failed, that moment Amalek prevailed. 5 O Lord, increase our faith and love, that we may all thy goodness prove, and gain from thy exhaustless store the fruits of prayer forevermore.
