And will the great eternal God

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #428 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances For a Congregation Lyrics: 1 And will the great eternal God On earth establish his abode? And will he, from his radiant throne, Regard our temples for his own? 2 We bring the tribute of our praise; And sing that condescending grace, Which to our notes will lend an ear, And call us sinful mortals near. 3 Our Father's watchful care we bless, Which guards our house of pray'r in peace, That no tumultuous foes invade, To fill the worshippers with dread. 4 These walls we to thy honour raise; Long may they echo with thy praise; And thou, descending, fill the place With choicest tokens of thy grace. 5 And in the great decisive day, When God the nations shall survey, May it before the world appear That crowds were born to glory here!

In sweet exalted strains

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #429 (1814) Meter: Irregular Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances For a Congregation Lyrics: 1 In sweet exalted strains, The King of Glory praise: O'er heaven and earth he reigns, Through everlasting days; He with a nod the world controls, Sustains or sinks the distant poles. 2 To earth he bends his throne, His throne of grace divine; Wide is his bounty known And wide his glories shine. Fair Salem, still his chosen rest, Is with his smiles and presence blest. 3 Then King of glory! come; And with thy favour crown This temple as thy dome, This people as thy own. Within this house O deign to show, How God can dwell with men below. 4 Here may thine ears attend Our interceding cries, And grateful praise ascend All fragrant to the skies. Here may thy word melodious sound, And spread the joys of heav'n around. 5 Here may th' attentive throng Imbibe thy truth and love; And converts join the song Of Seraphim above; And willing crowds surround thy board, With sacred joy and sweet accord. 6 In peace, here may our sons And daughters sound thy praise; and shine like polish'd stones, Though long succeeding days. Here Lord! display thy saving pow'r, While churches stand and saints adore. Languages: English

Sweet lenitive of grief and care!

Thine arm has borne thy churches up, Through ev'ry rising race. 5 Extert thy sacred influ'nce here; Thy mourning servants bless. O change to strains of cheerful praise Their accents of distress.

To thee my spirit flies, And opens all its deep distress Before thy pitying eyes. 5 All its desires to thee are known, And ev'ry secret fear; The meaning of each broken groan Well-notic'd by thine ear. 6 O fix me by that mighty pow'r, Which to such love belongs, Where darkness veils the eyes no more, And groans are chang'd to songs.
