O Lord of Hosts, to Thee I Cry

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Opening of Services Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, to Thee I cry, Our fathers' God, to Thee; Let my petitions reach Thy ear, My prayer accepted be. O God our shield, look Thou on us, Reveal Thyself in grace, And let Thy own anointed one Behold Thee face to face. 2 A single day within Thy courts, Where I Thy beauty see, Is better than a thousand days, My God, apart from Thee. A lowly station in Thy house Were dearer to my heart Than in the tents of wickedness To claim the chiefest part. 3 A sun and shield is God, the Lord, To lighten and defend; The Lord to such as look to Him Will grace and glory send, To those that walk in righteousness No good will He deny. The Lord of hosts, how blest are they Who on Thy grace rely! Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: AUDITE AUDIENTES ME

Built on the Rock

Author: Nicolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship First Line: Built on the rock the church does stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the rock the church does stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God, the most high, is not dwelling; High above earth his temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet he whom heavens cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men, Built in our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for his habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of his wondrous salvation; Were we but two his name to tell, Yet he would deign with us to dwell, With all his grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King, E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forth-telling; Jesus his grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all his words, His truth doth hollow the temple. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22 Used With Tune: KIRKEN (BUILT ON THE ROCK)
