Presence Pleasantries

Tune: Coe Fen

(\'How shall I sing that majesty?\')

Parts of Psalms 84, 85, 86

************

How amiable are your tents

Where we your presence sense

Your tabernacles, Lord of hosts

In you we make our boasts

My soul longs, yes, faints for His courts

To Him be my resorts

My heart and flesh cry out to know

The living God anew

 

Blessed are they whose strength is in you

And those who your ways do

They pass through valley, make a well

Of you they good things tell

The rain shall fill the pools therein

Refresh and cleanse from sin

They shall be fruitful, glorify

The Lord, He with them nigh

 

Turn us, God of our salvation

Lord over each nation

Cause your anger to us to cease

Grant us your life and pace

Will you for ever angry be?

Shall we your grace not see?

Will you not again us revive

That we in you joy, thrive?

 

The Lord shall give us what is good

He will do as He would

Still to bless, give our land increase

And from our sins release

Righteousness it shall go before

You, set our steps for sure

In your way, that we follow on

Trusting in Christ your Son

 

Teach me your way Lord, I wll walk

In your truth, of you talk

Unite my heart to your name fear

And reverence it dear

I will, O Lord my God, praise you

With all my heart ensue

To glorify your name for e\'er

You come, you leave us ne\'er
