JEHOVAH, God, Who Dwelt Of Old

JEHOVAH, God, Who Dwelt Of Old

“There I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee.” Exodus 25:22

Words: Lew­is R. Amis (1856-1904).
Music: Mar­lo L. Bart­lett (1847-1919) (MI­DIscore).

Jehovah, God, who dwelt of old
In temples made with hands,
Thy power display, Thy truth unfold,
Where this new temple stands.

Vouchsafe to meet Thy children here,
Nor ever hence depart;
From sorrow’s eye wipe every tear,
And bless each longing heart.

The rich man’s gift, the widow’s mite,
Are blended in these walls;
These altars welcome all alike
Who heed God’s gracious calls.

From things unholy and unclean
We separate this place;
May naught here ever come between
This people and Thy face!

Now with this house we give to Thee
Ourselves, our hearts, our all,
The pledge of faith and loyalty,
Held subject to Thy call.

And when at last the blood washed throng
Is gathered from all lands,
We’ll enter with triumphant songs
The house not made with hands.

JEHOVAH, God, Thy Gracious Power

JEHOVAH, God, Thy Gracious Power

“He that keepeth thee will not slumber.” Psalm 121:3

Words:  John Thom­son, in Asp­land’s Col­lect­ion, 1810.
Music:  Mar­lo L. Bar­tlett (1847-1919) (MI­DIscore).

Jehovah, God, Thy gracious power,
On every hand we see;
Oh, may the blessings of each hour
Lead all our thoughts to Thee.

Thy power is in the ocean deeps,
And reaches to the skies;
Thine eye of mercy never sleeps,
Thy goodness never dies.

From morn till noon, till latest eve,
Thy hand, O God, we see;
And all the blessings we receive,
Proceed alone from Thee.

In all the varying scenes of time,
On Thee our hopes depend;
Through every age, in every clime,
Our Father, and our Friend.
