Employ'd in carnal joys.

While Jesus is within,
Rather than fill a throne of state,
Among the tents of sin.

And the more boundless sea,
For one blest hour at thy right hand
I'd give them both away. Scripture: Psalm 84:1-3 Languages: English

When storms of sharp distress invade;
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold him present with his aid.

Down to the deep, and buried there,
Convulsions shake the solid world,
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar,
In sacred peace our souls abide,
While every nation, every shore
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God!
Life, love and joy still gliding through
And watering our divine abode.
5 That sacred stream, thine holy word,
Supports our faith, our fear controuls,
Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.

And Jacob's God is still our aid;
Behold the works his hand has wrought,
What desolations he has made.
3 From sea to sea, through all the shores
He makes the noise of battle cease;
When from on high his thunder roars,
He awes the trembling world to peace.
4 He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear,
Chariots he burns with heavenly flame;
Let earth in silent wonder hear
The sound and glory of his name.

"I reign exalted o'er the lands,
"I will be known and fear'd abroad,
"But still my throne in Sion stands."

Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power
Should tempt my feet to leave thy door.

No real good from upright souls.

With long desire my spirit faints

So far from all my joys and thee.
3 The sparrow chuses where to rest,
And for her young provides a nest;
But will my God to sparrows grant
That pleasure which his children want?

Around thy throne above the sky;
Thy brightest glories shine above,
And all their work is praise and love.

Within the temple of thy grace;
There they behold thy gentler rays,
And seek thy face and learn thy praise.

To find the way to Zion's gate;
God is their strength, and through the road
They lean upon their helper God.
7 Cheerful they walk with growing strength,
Till all shall meet in heaven at length,
Till all before thy face appear,
And join in nobler worship there. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English
