The tabernacles of Thy grace;
O how I long, yea, faint to see
Thy hallowed courts, Thy dwelling-place;
For Thee my heart and spirit sign,
For Thee, O living God, I cry.
2 The sparrow has her place of rest;
The swallow thro' Thy kindly care,
Has found where she may build her nest
And brood her young in safety there;
Thy altars as my rest I sing,
O Lord of Hosts, my God, my King.
3 Blest they who in Thy house abide,
They still to Thee shall render praise;
Blest they who in Thy strength confide,
And in whose hearts are Zion's ways;
Tho' passing thro' the vale of tears,
Like springs of joy Thy grace appears.
4 Advancing still from strength to strength,
They onward go where saints have trod,
Till ev'ry one appears at length
In Zion's courts before his God;
Jehovah God of Hosts, give ear,
Our father's God, in mercy hear.
5 Upon us look, O God, our shield,
The face of Thy anointed see;
A thousand other days can yield
No gladness like one day with Thee;
Tho' only at Thy door I wait,
No tents of sin give joy so great.
6 Jehovah, God our Shield and Sun,
Will grace and glory surely give;
No good will He withhold from one
Who in His sight shall rightly live;
O Lord of Hosts, most blest is he
Who puts his steadfast trust in Thee.

"Eben-ezer"
Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #370 (1890) Topics: Growth in Grace; Growth in Grace First Line: Come, thou Fount of every blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise;
Teaching me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it!
Mount of thy redeeming love.
2 Here I'll raise mine Eben-ezer;
Hither by thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee;
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; oh, take and seal it;
Seal it for thy courts above. Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

Let thy Spirit melt and break it
This proud heart of sin and stone.

Fond of peace and far from strife;
Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life.
3 Ever let thy grace surround me,
Strengthen me with power divine,
Till thy cords of love have bound me:
Make me to be wholly thine.
5 May the blood of Jesus heal me,
And my sins be all forgiven;
Holy Spirit, take and seal me,
Guide me in the path to heaven. Languages: English

Let my soul in faith be borne:
Calmly gazing, skyward, sunward,
Let my eye unshrinking turn!
2 Where the cross, God's love revealing,
Sets the fettered spirit free,
Where it sheds its wondrous healing,
There, my soul, thy rest shall be!
3 Oh, may I no longer, dreaming;
Idly waste my golden day,
But, each precious hour redeeming,
Upward, upward, press my way!

Growing in Grace
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Growth in Grace First Line: Praise to thy name, eternal God Lyrics: 1 Praise to thy name, eternal God,
For all the grace thou shed'st abroad;
For all thy influence from above,
To warm our souls with sacred love:
2 Bless'd be thy hand, which from the skies
Brought down this plant of Paradise,
And gave its heavenly beauties birth
To deck this wilderness of earth.
3 But why does that celestial flower
Open, and thrive, and shine no more?
Where are its balmy odors fled?
And why reclines its beauteous head?
4 Too plain, alas! the langour shews
Th' unkindly soil in which it grows;
Where the black frost and beating storm
Wither, and rend its tender form.
5 Unchanging sun thy beams display,
To drive the frost and storms away;
Make all thy potent virtues known
To cheer a plant so much thy own.
6 And thou, bless'd spirit deign to blow
Fresh gales of Heaven on shrubs below;
So shall they grow, and breathe abroad
A fragrance grateful to our God. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:18 Languages: English
