Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling Place (Gill)

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 heard’st our cry;

Through ev­ery age we found Thee nigh

Our strength and our sal­va­tion.

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 lov­èd;

And Thou hast kept and loved us well

Hast grant­ed us in Thee to dwell

Unshaken

un­re­mov­èd.

No

no­thing from those 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.
