O thou, whose own vast temple stands
Author: Bryant Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 240 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:8-9 Lyrics: 1 O thou, whose own vast temple stands
Built over earth and sea,
Accept the walls that human hands
Have raised to worship thee.
2 Lord, from thine inmost glory send,
Within these courts to bide,
The peace that dwelleth, without end,
Serenely by thy side.
3 May erring minds that worship here
Be taught the better way;
And they who mourn, and they who fear,
Be strengthened as they pray.
4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
And pure devotion rise,
While round these hallowed walls the swarm
Of earth-born passion dies! Topics: The Christian Church Dedication; Dedication Hymn
O thou, whose own vast temple stands
O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be
Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see:
crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest:
God shall be all and in all ever blest.
2 What are the monarch, the court, and the throne?
What are the peace and the joy that they own?
O that the blest ones, who in it have share,
all that they feel could as fully declare!
3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
vision of peace, that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment can be severed ne'er,
nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing,
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
5 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh,
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
6 Low before God with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
praise to the Father, and praise to the Son,
praise to the Spirit, with them ever one. Topics: Communion of Saints Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

O Blessed Rest
Author: E. E. Hewitt Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:14 First Line: O blessed rest in Jesus Refrain First Line: O blessed, blessed rest Lyrics: 1 O blessed rest in Jesus!
There’s no other half so sweet,
As the peace he freely gives me,
When I tarry at his feet.
There I tell the sins that grieve me,
And his tones like dewdrops fall,
“Fear ye not, for I’ve redeemed thee,
There is cleansing for them all.”
Refrain:
O blessed, blessed rest!
Leaning on his loving breast,
When I’m heart to heart with Jesus,
What a blessed, blessed rest!
2 O blessed rest in Jesus!
Let me linger at his side,
While I tell him all my sorrows,
And my joys to him confide.
He will never, never weary,
For he waits to answer prayer,
And he whispers that he loves me,
That he careth for my care. [Refrain]
3 O blessed rest in Jesus!
How it cheers me, day by day!
For he strengthens me for duty,
And for service, by the way;
And he tells me of the city
Where they need no star, no sun;
There he’ll give me joyful welcome,
When my earthly work is done. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O blessed rest in Jesus]
