The House of God

Arise, O Lord, our God, arise

from The Psalter, 1912 · 8.8.8.8

1.Arise, O Lord, our God, arise,
And enter now into Thy rest:
O let this house be Thy abode,
Forever with Thy presence blest.

2.Thy gracious cov'nant, Lord, fulfill,
Turn not away from us Thy face;
Establish Thou Messiah's throne
And let Him reign within this place.

3.Thy Zion Thou hast chosen, Lord,
And thou hast said, I love her well,
This is my constant resting-place,
And here will I delight to dwell.

4.I will abundantly provide
For Zion's good, the Lord hat said;
I will supply her daily need
And satisfy her poor with bread.

5.Salvation shall adorn her priests,
Her saints shall shout with joy divine,
Messiah's pow'r shall be revealed,
His glory in His Church shall shine.
