Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling-Place

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #183 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life; Communion with God; Compassion of God; Creation; Death; Eternity of God; Fear of God; Funerals; Immutability of God; New Year; Old Year; Omniscience of God; Wrath Of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or even Thou hadst formed the earth, From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2 At Thy command man fades and dies And newborn generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watches of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before this swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun, And withered ere the day is done. 4 Man in Thy anger is consumed, And unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5 For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life's day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and reverent though Can fear Thy anger as he ought? 6 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. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE

Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: EMMELAR (RICHARDS)
