Choose the Living Way

Author: Neil Barham Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: The voice that shook the mountains Lyrics: 1. The voice that shook the mountains and covered them with smoke, From cloud and fiery pillar His great commandment spoke: I call the earth and heaven as witness here today Before you now are life and death; Now choose the living way. 2. “The law of sweet, abundant life engraved by God on stone Will lead you to the living Word and make you all His own. Obey and seek the blessing and shun the cursed way: Before you now are life and death; Now choose the living way. 3. “If you will love the Lord your God and listen to His voice, The generations after you forever will rejoice! His beautiful commandment will give you length of days. Before you now are life and death; Now choose the living way. 4. I am the God of Jacob, yes Isaac’s God I Am, By everlasting covenant, the God of Abraham. Hold fast to My strong promise: Your life is in My praise! Before you now are life and death; Now choose the living way. Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely

Author: Anonymous Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: O Lord of hosts, how lovely Lyrics: 1. O Lord of hosts, how lovely Thy tabernacles are; For them my heart is yearning in banishment afar My soul is longing, fainting, Thy sacred courts to see; My heart and flesh are crying, O living God for Thee. 2. Behold the sparrow finds place for peaceful rest, To keep her young in safety the swallow finds a nest; Then, Lord, my King almighty, Thy love will shelter me; Beside Thy holy altar my dwelling-place shall be. 3. Blest they who dwell in Zion, whose joy and strength Thou art; Forever they will praise Thee, Thy ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace, And all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase. 4. So they from strength unwearied go forward unto strength, Till they appear in Zion, before the Lord at length. O hear, Lord God of Jacob, to me an answer yield; The face of Thine anointed, behold, O God, our shield. 5. One day excels a thousand, if spent Thy courts within; I’ll chose Thy threshold rather than dwell in tents of sin. Our sun and shield Jehovah, will grace and glory give; No good will He deny them that uprightly do live.

When Joseph Went with Mary

Author: Richard Adams Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. When Joseph went with Mary To David’s royal town, With travelling were they weary, Yet lodging not they found; They searched the city over, At every inn did call; No room, they heard, and time again, So stayed in oxen’s stall. 2. No palace fit for royal birth, No purple robes disclose; The King of Glory, come from Heav’n, A lowly manger chose; Our Savior and Redeemer, In swaddling clothes entwined, The Babe whose life would be the price To rescue lost mankind. 3. While shepherds flocks were watching, And sleeping in the field, Announcement of Immanuel’s birth Was suddenly revealed; A sun-bright shining angel, Said, Fear not, I am here To bring glad tidings of great joy, But shepherds shook with fear. 4. Shake off your fears and listen— Lo, you have cause to sing! Here in the town of David Tonight is born a King; For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son; Who places faith in Him alone Eternal life has won. 5. While shepherds wondered at the news Then glorious hosts appear, Proclaiming, Glory, peace on earth, The Savior now is near; No longer be a stranger, He waits for you this night; Go see the Prince in manger straw In royal stable bright. 6. They hastened unto Bethlehem, With eagerness did go, They found the Child in swaddling clothes, Amazed that it was so; Like them, do not reject Him, Nor spurn that gracious call, From One who came to earth for us, The price to pay for all.
