Methodist-Hymns-694
1: LORD, Thou hast been our dwelling place
In every generation;
Thy people still have known Thy grace,
And blessed Thy consolation;
Through every age Thou heardst our cry;
Through every age we found Thee nigh,
Our Strength and our Salvation.
2: Our cleaving sins we oft have wept,
And oft Thy patience provèd;
But still Thy faith we fast have kept;
Thy Name we still have loved;
And Thou hast kept and loved us well,
Hast granted us in Thee to dwell,
Unshaken, unremovèd.
3: Lord, nothing from Thine arms of love
Shall Thine own people sever:
Our helper never will remove,
Our God will fail us never.
Thy people, Lord, have dwelt in Thee:
Our dwelling-place Thou still wilt be
For ever and for ever.
