At the Settlement of a Church; or, The Ordination of a Minister
Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Ministers ordained; Ministers ordained First Line: Where shall we go to seek and find Lyrics: 1 Where shall we go to seek and find
An habitation for our God,
A dwelling for th' eternal mind
Among the sons of flesh and blood!
2 The God of Jacob chose the hill
Of Zion for his ancient rest;
And Zion is his dwelling still,
His church is with his presence blest.
3 "Here I will fix my gracious throne,
"And reign forever, saith the Lord;
"Here shall my power and love be known,
"And blessings shall attend my word.
4 "Here will I meet the hungry poor,
"And fill their souls with living bread;
"Sinners that wait before my door
"With sweet provisions shall be fed.
5 "Girded with truth, and cloth'd with grace
"My priests, my ministers shall shine;
"Not Aaron in his costly dress
"Appears so glorious and divine.
6 "The saints, unable to contain
"Their inward joys, shall shout and sing,
"The son of David here shall reign,
"And Zion triumph in her King.
7 "Jesus shall see a numerous seed
"Born here t' uphold his glorious name;
"His crown shall flourish on his head,
"While all his foes are cloth'd with shame." Scripture: Psalm 132:13-18

Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Ministers ordained First Line: When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand,
Left the proud Tyrant, and his Land,
The Tribes with chearful Homage own
Their King, and Judah was his Throne.
2 Across the Deep their Journey lay;
The Deep divides to make them Way;
Jordan beheld their March, and fled
With backward Current to his Head.
3 The Mountains shook like frighted Sheep,
Like Lambs the little Hillocks leap!
Not Sinai on her base could stand,
Conscious of sov'reign Pow'r at Hand.
4 What Pow'r could make the Deep divide?
Make Jordan backward roll his Tide?
Why did ye leap, ye little Hills?
And whence the Fright that Sinai feels?
5 Let ev'ry Mountain, ev'ry Flood,
Retire and know th' approaching GOD,
The King of Isr'el: see him here:
Tremble thou Earth, adore and fear.
6 He thunders, and all Nature mourns;
The Rock to standing Pools he turns;
Flints spring with Fountains at his Word,
And Fires and Seas confess the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 114

Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Ministers ordained; Ministers ordained First Line: No sleep nor slumber to his eyes Lyrics: 1 [No sleep nor slumber to his eyes
Good David would afford,
Till he had found below the skies
A dwelling for the Lord.
2 The Lord in Zion plac'd his name,
His ark was settled there:
And there th' assembled nation came
To worship thrice a year.
3 We trace no more these toilsome ways,
Nor wander far abroad;
Where e’er thy people meet for praise,
There is a house for God.]
Pause.
4 Arise, O King of grace, arise,
And enter to thy rest,
Lo! thy church waits with longing eyes
Thus to be own'd and blest.
5 Enter with all thy glorious train,
Thy spirit and thy word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.
6 Here mighty God, accept our vows,
Here let thy praise be spread;
Bless the provisions of thy house,
And fill thy poor with bread.
7 Here, let the Son of David reign,
Let God’s anointed shine;
Justice and truth his court maintain,
With love and power divine.
8 Here let him hold a lasting throne,
And as his kingdom grows,
Fresh honours shall adorn his crown,
And shame confound his foes. Scripture: Psalm 122:4-5
