A-men. 4 We love thine altar, Lord; O, what on earth so dear! For there, in faith adored, We find thy presence near. 5 We love the word of life, The Word that tells of peace, Of comfort in the strife, Of joys that never cease. 6 We love to sing below For mercies freely given; But O, we long to know The triumph-song of heaven! 7 Lord Jesus, give us grace On earth to love thee more, In heaven to see thy face, And with thy saints adore.

Gracious Lord, Remember David

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #291 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: House of God Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, remember David, How he made Thy house his care, How he vowed to seek no pleasure Till Thy house he should prepare. Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God, Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God. 2 Far away God's ark was resting; It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark, Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This My resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priest shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow; On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow. All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame; But His crown shall ever flourish; Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish; Blessed be His holy Name.

Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry

Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #448 (1917) Topics: House of God First Line: When the weary, seeking rest Lyrics: 1 When the weary, seeking rest, To Thy goodness flee; When the heavy-laden cast All their load on Thee; When the troubled, seeking peace, On Thy name shall call; When the sinner seeking life, At Thy feet shall fall. 2 When the worldling, sick at heart, Lifts his soul above; When the prodigal looks back To his Father's love; When the proud man from his pride Stoops to seek Thy face; When the burdened brings his guilt To Thy throne of grace. 3 When the stranger asks a home, All his toils to end; When the hungry craveth food, And the poor a friend; When the sailor on the wave Bows the fervent knee; When the soldier on the field Lifts his heart to Thee. 4 When the man of toil and care, In the city crowd; When the shepherd on the moor, Names the name of God; When the learned and the high, Tired of earthly fame, Upon higher joys intent, Name the blessed name. 5 When the child, with grave, fresh lip, Youth, or maiden fair; When the aged, weak and grey, Seek Thy face in prayer; When the widow weeps to Thee, Sad and lone and low; When the orphan brings to Thee All his orphan woe.

Oh, bow thine ear, Eternal One!

Author: Pierpont Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #569 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The House of God Lyrics: 1 Oh, bow thine ear, Eternal One! On thee our heart adoring calls; To thee the followers of thy Son Have raised, and now devote these walls. 2 Here let thy holy days be kept; And be this place to worship given, Like that bright spot where Jacob slept, The house of God, the gate of heaven. 3 Here may thine honor dwell; and here, As incense, let thy children's prayer, From contrite hearts and lips sincere, Rise on the still and holy air. 4 Here by thy praise devoutly sung; Here let thy truth beam forth to save, As when, of old, thy Spirit hung, On wings of light, o'er Jordan's wave. 5 And when the lips, that with thy name Are vocal now, to dust shall turn, On others may devotion's flame Be kindled here, and purely burn!
