O LORD, how lovely is the Place

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O LORD, how lovely is the Place Where thou, vouchsaf'st to shew thy Face, In Glory, ever bright array'd; My Soul faints for thy blest Abode, My Heart cries out to see her GOD With Lustre unobscur'd display'd. The Birds around thy Temple throng; And there they build and hatch their Young. 2 O LORD of Hosts! how blest are they, Who in thine House thy Praise display, Whose Hopes in thee are firmly plac'd; Who with a pious Zeal do tread The Ways that to thy Temple lead, For they shall never be disgrac's. In parched Vales they know no Want, For thou refreshing Rain shall grant. 3 Thus they proceed, free from all Fear, From Strength to Strength, 'till all appear On Sion's Mount, for ever bless'd. LORD let my humble Pray'r be heard, My Soul's sincere Desires regard; To thee, O Jacob's GOD! address'd; To us thy sure Protection bring, And look on thine anointed King. 4 For in thy Courts one Day to dwell, In solid Pleasure, doth excell A Thousand Days, wherever spent. A Habitation of my GOD, I choose to be my fix'd Abode; And, dwelling there, would be content, Rather to keep his Temple Gate, Than live with wicked Men in State. 5 For GOD, our great Defence and Light, To guide us in the Way that's right, His Grace and Glory still bestows; And to all those who justly live, The LORD shall ev'ry Blessing give; His plenteous Mercy ever flows. O GOD, how highly blest ishe, Whose Trust is still repos'd in thee!

O 'twas a joyful Sound to hear

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O 'twas a joyful Sound to hear Our num'rous Tribes devoutly say, Up, Israel, to the Temple haste, And keep your solemn festal Day: At Salem's Courts we must appear, With all our congregated Pow'rs; In strong and beauteous Order rang'd, Like her united Tow'rs. 2 'Tis hither, by Divine Command, That all the Tribes of GOD repair; Before his Ark, to celebrate His holy Name with Praise and Pray'r. Tribunals stand erected there, Where Truth and Equity take place; There stand the Courts and Palaces Of holy David's Royal Race. 3 O, pray we then for Salem's Peace; For they shall ever prosp'rous be, (Thou holy City of our GOD!) Who true Affection bear to thee: May Peace within thy sacred Walls For evermore a Guest be found; With Plenty and Prosperity, May all thy Palaces be crown'd! 4 For my dear Brethren's sake, and Friends, To me no less than Brethren dear, I'll pray, may Peace in Salem's Tow'rs An everlasting Guest appear! My Soul shall ever seek thy Good, My Heart shall ever wish thee well; For Sion and the Temple's sake, Where GOD himself vouchsafes to dwell.

Zu Dir, Herr Jesus, führt mein Pfad

Author: Carl Brockhaus, 1822-1899 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Zu Dir, o Jesus, führt mein Pfad. Ich geh' getrost, das Endziel naht, Wo ich die Wüste werd' verlassen. Hier find' ich nichts, doch Du bist mein, Bin nie vergessen, nie allein. Wer kann, Herr, Deine Liebe fassen? Einst floß Dein Blut, es floß für mich. Ich bin versöhnt, und Dein bin ich! 2 Durch Dich, o Herr, ist all mein Heil. Ein lieblich Los ward mir zuteil, Als, Jesus, Du Dich mir gegeben. Durch Dich ist alles, was ich hab', Du bist mein Stecken und mein Stab, Bist meine Hoffnung und mein Leben. Durch Dich ist all mein Trost im Leid, Durch Dich ist mein die Herrlichkeit. 3 Mit Dir ich wandle. Unverweilt Mein Fuß durch diese Wüste eilt, Wo keinen Ruhort Du gefunden. Ich seh' nur Kampf und Leiden hier. Ich geh' hindurch, doch nur mit Dir. Mit Dir ist alles überwunden. O Herr, dies eine bleibe mir, Daß stets ich wandle treu mit Dir. 4 Für Dich nur darf mein Leben sein, Und was ich hab', für Dich allein, Weil Du am Kreuze mich erworben. Von Sünd' und Tod bin ich befreit Und bin zu Deinem Dienst geweiht. Ich lebe jetzt, weil Du gestorben. O welche Huld! Wie liebst Du mich! Ja, was ich bin, bin ich für Dich! 5 Bei Dir, Herr Jesus, werd' ich sein, Wenn Du mich führst zur Ruhe ein, Bei Dir, wo jeder Kampf beendet. Dort werde ich Dein Antlitz schaun Mit allen, die auf Dich hier traun. Dort ist mein Glaubenslauf vollendet. Ich werd' verherrlicht sein mit Dir, Stets jauchzen und lobsingen Dir.
