Him day and night 3 Being of beings, may our praise Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill; 558 C. M. Delight in God's House. Ps. 84. 1 HOW lovely are thy dwellings fair, The pleasant tabernacles are, Where thou dost dwell so near! 2 My soul doth long, and almost die, 3 Happy, who in thy house reside, MILTON.

Seeking Refuge. 1 FORTH from the dark and stormy sky, 2 Long have we roamed in want and pain; The Safety and Protection of the Church. 1 HOW honorable is the place WATTS. 2 Bulwarks of mighty grace defend The walls, of strong salvation made, 3 Lift up the everlasting gates, 4 Here shall you taste unmingled joys, You that have known Jehovah's name, 5 Trust in the Lord, forever trust, Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells The Benefit of Ordinances. 1 AWAY from every mortal care, WATTS. Away from earth, our souls retreat; We leave this worthless world afar, And wait and worship near thy seat. 2 Lord, in the temple of thy grace We see thy feet, and we adore; We gaze upon thy lovely face, And learn the wonders of thy power. 3 If Satan rage, and sin grow strong, Here we receive some cheering word; We gird the gospel armor on To fight the battles of the Lord. 4 Or, if our spirit faints and dies, Our conscience galled with inward stings, Here doth the righteous Sun arise, With healing beams beneath his wings. 562 L.
