Psalm 132

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:13-18 First Line: Where shall we go to seek and find Lyrics: 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? 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 blessed. Here will I fix my gracious throne, And reign for ever, saith the Lord; Here shall my power and love be known, And blessings shall attend my word. Here will I meet the hungry poor, And fill their souls with living bread; Sinners that wait before my door With sweet provision shall be fed. Girded with truth, and clothed with grace, My priests, my ministers, shall shine Not Aaron in his costly dress Made an appearance so divine. 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.

Psalm 132

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:15-17 First Line: No sleep nor slumber to his eyes Lyrics: [No sleep nor slumber to his eyes Good David would afford, Till he had found below the skies A dwelling for the Lord. The Lord in Zion placed his name, His ark was settled there; To Zion the whole nation came To worship thrice a year. But we have no such lengths to go, Nor wander far abroad; Where'er thy saints assemble now, There is a house for God.] Arise, O King of grace, arise, And enter to thy rest! Lo! thy church waits with longing eyes Thus to be owned and blessed. Enter with all thy glorious train, Thy Spirit and thy word; All that the ark did once contain Could no such grace afford. Here, mighty God, accept our vows, Here let thy praise be spread; Bless the provisions of thy house, And fill thy poor with bread. Here let the Son of David reign, Let God's Anointed shine; Justice and truth his court maintain With love and power divine. Here let him hold a lasting throne; And as his kingdom grows, Fresh honors shall adorn his crown, And shame confound his foes.

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,300 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:13-18 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed you for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, You may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply your sons and daughters And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever will their thirst assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which God gives them on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Your name. Fading are the world's vain pleasures, All their boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasures None but Zion's children know. Topics: Beginning of Service Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Let David, Lord, a constant place

Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132 Lyrics: 1 Let David, Lord, a constant Place in thy Remembrance find; Let all the Sorrows he endur'd, be ever in thy Mind. 2 Remember what a solemn Oath to Thee, his Lord, he swore; How to the mighty God he vow'd, whom Jacob's Sons adore: 3,4 I will not go into my House, nor to my Bed ascend; No soft Repose shall close my Eyes, nor Sleep my Eye-lids bend; 5 'Till for the Lord's design'd Abode I mark the destin'd Ground; 'Till I a decent Place of Rest for Jacob's God have found. 6 Th' appointed Place with Shouts of Joy, at Ephrata we found, And made the woods and neighb'ring Fields our glad Applause resound. 7 O with due Rev'rence let us then to his Abode repair; And, prostrate at his Footstool fall'n, pour out our humble Pray'r. 8 Arise, O Lord, and now possess thy constant Place of Rest; Be that, not only with thy Ark, but with thy Presence blest. 9.10 Cloath thou thy Priests with Righteousness, make thou thy Saints rejoice; And for thy Servant David's Sake, hear thy Anointed's Voice. 11 God sware to David in his Truth, (nor shall his Oath be vain) One of thy Offspring after thee upon thy Throne shall reign: 12 And if thy Seed my Cov'nant keep, and so my Laws submit; Their Children too upon thy Throne for evermore shall sit. 13,14 For Sion does in God's Esteem all other Seats excel; His Place of everlasting Rest, where he desires to dwell. 15,16 Her Store, says he, I will increase, her Poor with Plenty bless; Her Saints shall shout for Joy, her Priests my saving Health confess. 17 There David's Pow'r shall long remain in his successive Line, And my anointed Servant there shall with fresh Lustre shine. 15 The Faces of his vanquish'd Foes Confusion shall o'erspread; Whilst with confirm'd Success, his Crown shall flourish on his Head.

We'll join the everlasting song, And crown him Lord of all. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; The Coronation
