Hymnal: The Psalter #393 (1912) Topics: Blessedness Of Those Trusting Christ First Line: O happy land, whose sons in youth Lyrics: 1 O happy land, whose sons in youth, In sturdy strength and noble truth, Like plants in vigor spring; Whose daughters fair, a queenly race, Are like the cornerstones that grace The palace of a king, The palace of a king. 2 O happy land, when flock and field Their rich, abundant increase yield, And blessings multiply; When plenty all thy people share, And no invading foe is there, And no distressful cry, And no distressful cry. 3 O happy people, favored land To whom the Lord with liberal hand Hath thus His goodness shown; Yes, surely is that people blest By whom Jehovah is confessed To be their God alone, To be their God alone.

Thou Shepherd of Israel divine

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #397 (1870) Topics: Blessedness of piety Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel divine, The joy and desire of my heart, For closer communion I pine, I long to reside where Thou art: The pasture I languish to find Where all, who their Shepherd obey, Are fed, on Thy boson reclined, And screen'd from the heat of the day. 2 Ah! show me that happiest place, That place of Thy people's abode, Where saints in an ecstasy gaze, And hang on a crucified God! Thy love for a sinner declare, Thy passion and death on the tree; My spirit to Calvary bear, To suffer and triumph with Thee. 3 'Tis there with the lambs of Thy flock, There only I covet to rest, To lie at the foot of the Rock, Or rise to be hid in Thy breast; 'Tis there I would always abide, And never a moment depart; Conceal'd in the cleft of Thy side, Eternally held in Thy heart.

Oh, that I could forever dwell

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #399 (1870) Topics: Blessedness of piety Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I could forever dwell, Delighted at the Saviour’s feet; Behold the form I love so well, And all His tender words repeat! 2 The world shut out from all my soul, And heaven brought in with all its bliss, Oh! is there aught, from pole to pole, One moment to compare with this? 3 This is the hidden life I prize-- A life of penitential love; When most my follies I despise, And raise my highest thoughts above; 4 When all I am I clearly see, And freely own with deepest shame; When the Redeemer's love to me Kindles within a deathless flame. 5 Thus would I live till nature fail, And all my former sins forsake; Then rise to God within the veil, And of eternal joys partake.

How tedious and tasteless the hours

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #400 (1870) Topics: Blessedness of piety Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours, When Jesus no longer I see; Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers Have all lost their sweetness with me; The midsummer's sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice; I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resign'd; No changes of seasons or place Would make any change in my mind. While bless'd with the sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. Languages: English
