RECALL HOW DAVID SWROE! (Hymn 1248)

1. Recall how David swore, "I'll not come into my house, Nor go up to my bed, Give slumber to my eyelids, Until I find a place for Thee, A place, O Lord, for Thee." Our mighty God desires a home Where all His own may come. 2. How blinded we have been, Shut in with what concerns us While God's house lieth waste – Lord, break through, overturn us; We'll go up the mountain, Bring wood and build the house; We'll never say, "Another day!" It's time! We'll come and build! 3. O Lord, Against these days, Inspire some for Your house, Just as in David's day – A remnant who are willing To come and work in Your house, Oh, what a blessed charge ! Your heart's desire, is our desire – We come, O Lord, to build. 4. Within those whom You'd call Put such a restless caring For building to give all – These times are for preparing; "The gates of hell cannot prevail – Against the builded Church!" The hours are few, the builders too – Lord, build, O build in us! (Repeat the last four lines.)
