Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling Place
Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place
Through all the ages of our race;
Before the mountains had their birth
Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To everlasting our abode.
2 O teach Thou us to count our days
And set our hearts on wisdom's ways;
Turn, Lord, to us in our distress,
In pity now Thy servants bless;
Let mercy's dawn dispel our night,
And all our day with joy be bright.
3 O send the day of joy and light,
For long has been our sorrow's night;
Afflicted through the weary years,
We wait until Thy help appears;
With us and with our sons abide,
In us let God be glorified.
4 So let there be on us bestowed
The beauty of the Lord our God;
The work accomplished by our hand
Establish Thou, and make it stand;
Yea, let our hopeful labor be
Established evermore by Thee.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Commitment; God Eternity and Power; God Guide; God Will, Doing His; God the Father His Eternity and Power Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Our Earth We Now Lament to See
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Our earth we now lament to see
With floods of wickedness overflowed,
With violence, wrong, and cruelty,
The killing fields our constant abode,
Where men like fiends each other tear,
In all the hellish rage of war.
2. As listed on Abaddon’s side,
They mangle their own flesh, and slay:
Tophet is moved, and opens wide
Its mouth for its enormous prey;
And myriads sink beneath the grave,
And plunge into the flaming wave.
3. O might the universal Friend
This havoc of His creatures see!
Bid our unnatural discord end;
Declare us reconciled in Thee;
Write kindness on our inward parts,
And chase the murderer from our hearts!
4. Who now against each other rise,
The nations of the earth, constrain
To follow after peace, and prize
The blessings of Thy righteous reign,
The joys of unity to prove,
The paradise of perfect love! Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE (Walton) Text Sources: Hymns of Intercessio, 1758, alt.
Our Earth We Now Lament to See
See, Sinners, in the Gospel Glass
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1. See, sinners, in the Gospel glass,
The friend and Savior of mankind!
Not one of all the apostate race
But may in Him salvation find!
His thoughts, and words, and actions prove,
His life and death, that God is love!
2. Behold the Lamb of God, who bears
The sins of all the world away!
A servant’s form He meekly wears,
He sojourns in a house of clay,
His glory is no longer seen,
But God with God is man with men.
3. See where the God incarnate stands,
And calls His wandering creatures home,
He all day long spreads out His hands,
“Come, weary souls, to Jesus come!
Ye all may hide you in My breast,
Believe, and I will give you rest.
4. Ah! do not of My goodness doubt;
My saving grace for all is free;
I will in no wise cast him out
That comes a sinner unto Me;
I can to none Myself deny,
Why, sinners, will ye perish, why? Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE (Walton)
See, Sinners, in the Gospel Glass
Th'abyss of many a former sin
Author: Joseph of the Studium; John Mason Neale Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Th' abyss of many a former sin
Encloses me and bears me in:
Like billows my transgressions roll:
Be Thou the Pilot of my soul;
And to salvation’s harbor bring,
Thou Saviour and Thou glorious King!
2 My Father’s heritage abused,
Wasted by lust, by sin misused;
To shame and want and mis'ry brought,
The slave to many a godless thought,
I cry to Thee, who lovest men,
O pity and receive again!
3 In hunger now and dispossessed
Of that my portion bright and blessed,
The exile and the alien see,
Who yet would fain return to Thee.
Accept me Lord, I seek Thy grace,
And let me see a Father's face.
4 With that saved thief my prayer I make,
Remember for Thy mercy’s sake!
With that poor publican I cry,
Be Merciful, O God most high!
With that lost Prodigal I fain
Back to my home would turn again!
5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care,
And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:—
O Thou, who freely wast made poor,
My sorrows and my sins to cure,
Me, poor of all good works, embrace,
Enriching with Thy boundless grace! Topics: The Catechism Repentance Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Behold the Savior at the Door
Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 625 hymnals Refrain First Line: Open the door: He'll enter in Lyrics: 1. Behold the Savior at the door!
He gently knocks—has knocked before;
Has waited long—is waiting still;
You use no other friend so ill.
Chorus:
Open the door: He’ll enter in,
And sup with you, and you with Him.
2. Oh, lovely attitude! He stands
With open heart and outstretched hands;
Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows
His matchless kindness to His foes. [Chorus]
3. Admit Him, ere His anger burn,—
Least He depart and ne’er return;
Admit Him, or the hour’s at hand
When at His door denied you’ll stand. [Chorus]

We will be true to thee till death.

The well-spring of a nobler race:

We will be true to thee till death.

How blurred our vision, blind our way,
Thy providential care without:

We will be true to thee till death.

In truth beyond our manmade creeds,
Still serve the home and save the church,
And breathe thy spirit through our deeds:
