How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
Author: Arlo D. Duba Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #84C (2012) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: God's Strength Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely
is your abiding place;
my soul is longing, fainting,
to feast upon your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
a place to build her nest,
and so your temple calls us
with in its walls to rest.
2 In your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
is better than a thousand
if I from you should stray.
I’d rather keep the entrance
and claim you as my Lord
than revel in the riches
the ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings;
no good will you deny.
The saints, your grace receiving,
from strength to strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers
of blessing overflow. Scripture: Psalm 84 Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE
How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
Awake, our souls, away, our fears
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #85 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Strength Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls, away, our fears,
Let every trembling thought be gone;
Awake and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.
2 True, ’tis a straight and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
Who feeds the strength of every saint.
3 The mighty God, Whose matchless power
Is ever new and ever young;
Shall firm endure while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
4 From Thee, the over-flowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a fresh supply;
While such as trust their native strength,
Shall melt away, and droop and die.
5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We’ll mount aloft to Thine abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amidst the heavenly road. Languages: English
Awake, our souls, away, our fears
Sin like a venomous disease
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #91 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ our strength and righteousness; Strength from Christ Lyrics:
Sin, like a venomous disease,
Infects our vital blood;
The only balm is sovereign grace,
And the physician, God.
Our beauty and our strength are fled,
And we draw near to death;
But Christ the Lord recalls the dead
With his almighty breath.
Madness by nature reigns within,
The passions burn and rage,
Till God's own Son, with skill divine,
The inward fire assuage.
[We lick the dust, we grasp the wind,
And solid good despise;
Such is the folly of the mind,
Till Jesus makes us wise.
We give our souls the wounds they feel,
We drink the pois'nous gall,
And rush with fury down to hell;
But Heav'n prevents the fall.]
[The man possessed among the tombs
Cuts his own flesh, and cries;
He foams and raves, till Jesus comes,
And the foul spirit flies.]
Scripture: Psalm 71:22-24 Languages: English

When sorrow and remorse

Prey at my heart, to Thee
I look, who on the holy cross
Was sacrificed for me.

My spirit day by day,
That I from all low, dark desires
Have strength to flee away.

The cross upon me laid,
Or want or shame, I look to Thee:
Be Thou, O Christ, my aid.
4 And let Thy sorrows cheer
My soul when I depart:
Give strength to cast away all fear,
Console, sustain my heart.
5 Since Thou hast died for me,
Help me to trust Thy grace,
That Thou wilt take me up to Thee,
Where I shall see Thy face. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BRIDE

In Him continually;

Repeated every year;
Behold my days that yet remain,
I trust them to thy care.

When hoary hairs arise;
And round me let thy glory shine,
When e'er thy servant dies.

When men review my days,
They'll read your love in every page,
In every line thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 71:5-9 Languages: English

The aged Christian's Prayer and Song; or, old Age, Death, and the Resurrection

The guide of all my days,
I have declar'd thy heavenly truth,
And told thy wondrous ways.
2 Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs,
And leave my fainting heart?
Who shall sustain my sinking years
If God my strength depart?
3 Let me thy power and truth proclaim
Before the rising age,
And leave a savour of thy name
When I shall quit the stage.
4 The land of silence and of death
Attends my next remove;
Oh may these poor remains of breath
Teach the wide world thy love!
Pause.
5 Thy righteousness is deep and high,
Unsearchable thy deeds;
Thy glory spreads beyond the sky,
And all my praise exceeds.
6 Oft have I heard thy threatenings roar,
And oft endur'd the grief:
But when thy hand has prest me sore,
Thy grace was my relief.
7 By long experience have I known
Thy sovereign power to save;
At thy command I venture down
Securely to the grave.
8 When I lie buried deep in dust,
My flesh shall be thy care;
These wither'd limbs with thee I trust
To raise them strong and fair. Scripture: Psalm 71:17-21 Languages: English
