My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for you. 2 Beneath your care the sparrow finds place for peaceful rest; to keep her young in safety the swallow finds a nest. So, Lord, my King Almighty, your love will shelter me; beneath your wings of mercy my dwelling place will be. 3 Blest they who love and serve you, whose joy and strength you are. Forever they will praise you, your ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace, and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase.

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Christian Marriage Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to God our praise; to the Rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before him now, and, with psalms his praises singing, joyful in his presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD of whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is he, our God and King. In his hand are earth's deep places, also his are all the hills; his the sea whose bounds he traces, his the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD, such might revealing, let us come with reverence meet, and, before our Maker kneeling, let us worship at his feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of his care; with a shepherd's hand he feeds us as his flock in pastures fair. 4 While he offers peace and pardon let us hear his voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way-- lest to us, so unbelieving, he in judgment should declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest will share."

How Blest Are They Whose Trespass

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services New Year Lyrics: 1 How blest are they whose trespass has freely been forgiven, whose sins are wholly covered before the sight of heaven. Blest they to whom the LORD God does not impute their sin, who have a guileless spirit, whose heart is true within. 2 While I kept guilty silence, my strength was spent with grief: your hand was heavy on me; my soul found no relief. But when I owned my trespass and did not hide my sin, then you forgave my guilt, LORD, restored my life within. 3 So let the godly seek you in times when you are near; no whelming floods shall reach them or cause their hearts to fear. O LORD, you are my refuge, you are my hiding place, and you surround me always with songs of saving grace. 4 "I graciously will teach you the way that you should go, and, with my eye upon you, help you my counsel know. Then do not be unruly or slow to understand; be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command." 5 The sorrows of the wicked increase from year to year, but those who trust the LORD God know love instead of fear. Then in the LORD be joyful, in song lift up your voice; be glad in God, you righteous: rejoice, O saints, rejoice! Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

Your hand, in sight of all my foes, shall still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows, your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, and all my work be praise.
