God and His Church

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Christians Blessedness of First Line: Gracious Lord, remember David Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, remember David, How he made Thy house his care, How he vowed to seek no pleasure Till Thy house he should prepare. Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God, Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God. 2 Far away God's ark was resting; It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let thy priest be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This my resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow, On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow; All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame, But His crown shall ever flourish Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish, Blessed be His holy Name. Scripture: Psalm 132 Used With Tune: ULSTER

The Friend of the Poor

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Blessedness Of Those Chosen of God First Line: How blest the man who thoughtfully Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who thoughtfully The poor and weak befriends; Deliv'rance in the evil day To him Jehovah sends. 2 The Lord will keep him, guard his life, On earth he shall be blest; The Lord will not surrender him By foes to be distressed. 3 Upon the bed of suffering Jehovah will sustain, And in his sickness God will soothe The weariness and pain. 4 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends, Let me Thy mercy see; Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned, I have offended Thee. 5 My enemies against me speak, And they my life have scorned; They wish my name to pass away, Unhonored and unmourned. 6 My foe, deceitful, visits me, By seeming kindness led, His heart intent on gathering Some hurtful news to spread. 7 My foes, together whispering, Their evil plans devise; Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him, Laid low, he shall not rise. 8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend, In whom I put my trust, Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath To crush me in the dust. 9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace, And raise me up again, That I with justice may requite These base and wicked men. 10 By this I know assuredly That I am loved by Thee, Because my foe does not exult In triumph over me. 11 And as for me, in uprightness Thou dost uphold me well, And settest me before Thy face For evermore to dwell. 12 Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God For evermore. Amen. Let age to age eternally Repeat His praise. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 41 Used With Tune: SOUTHPORT

These glorious Minds, how bright they shine!

Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Blessedness and Business of Heaven Lyrics: 1 These glorious Minds how bright they shine! Whence all their white Array? How came they to the happy Seats Of Everlasting Day? 2 From tott'ring Pains to endless Joys On fiery Wheels they rode, And strangely wash'd their Raiment white In Jesus dying Blood. 3 Now they approach a spotless God, And bow before his Throne, Their warbling Harps and sacred Songs Adore the Holy One. 4 The unveil'd Glories of his Face Amongst his Saints reside, While the rich Treasure of his Grace Sees all their Wants supply'd. 5 Tormenting Thirst shall leave their Souls, And Hunger flee as fast; The Fruit of Life's immortal Tree Shall be their sweet Repast. 6 The Lamb shall lead his heav'nly Flock Where living Fountains rise, And Love divine shall wipe away The Sorrows of their Eyes.
