47 Peace be to thy every dwelling
1 Peace be to thy every dwelling,
City by Jehovah blest!
Who, His grace to thee revealing
Thee preserves in peace and rest.
May His presence still attend thee;
May'st thou sit by day and night
In His shadow with delight;
His all-powerful arm defend thee;
Prize, O prize, thy lot of grace;
Live unto thy Savior's praise.
2 Lord, we fervently implore Thee,
That, while pilgrims here below,
We may walk in truth before Thee,
And in all Thy knowledge grow;
Showing forth Thy matchless praises;
Thou who, out of sin's dark night,
Hast to Thine own marvelous light
Called Thy people, O Lord Jesus:
Keep and seal us ever Thine,
Leave with us Thy peace divine.
