When Quiet In My House I Sit

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: The Holy Scripture Lyrics: 1 When quiet in my house I sit, Thy book be my companion still; My joy Thy sayings to repeat, Talk o'er the records of Thy will, And search the oracles divine, Till every heart-felt word be mine. 2 O may the gracious words divine Subject of all my converse be; So will the Lord his follower join, And walk and talk himself with me. So shall my heart his presence prove, And burn with everlasting love. 3 Oft as I lay me down to rest, O may the reconciling word Sweetly compose my weary breast; While on the bosom of my Lord I sink in blissful dreams away, And visions of eternal day. 4 Rising to sing my Saviour's praise, Thee may I publish all day long; And let thy precious word of grace Flow from my heart, and fill my tongue; Fill all my life with purest love, And join me to the Church above.

Let the false raptures of the mind Be lost, and vanish in the wind; Here I can fix my hope secure; This is thy word, and must endure.

Psalm 19

Author: J. Conder Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: The Scriptures First Line: The heavens declare his glory Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare his glory, Their Maker's skill the skies; Each day repeats the story, And night to night replies, Their silent proclamation Throughout the earth is heard; The record of creation, The page of nature's word. 2 So pure, so soul-restoring, Is truth's diviner ray; A brighter radiance pouring Than all the pomp of day; The wanderer surely guiding, It makes the simple wise; And, evermore abiding, Unfailing joy supplies. 3 Thy word is richer treasure Than lurks within the mine; And daintiest fare less pleasure Yields than this food divine. How wise each kind monition! Led by thy counsels, Lord, How safe the saints' condition, How great is their reward. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST
