"As the trumpeters and singers were as one… in praising and thanking the LORD… then the house was filled with a cloud... for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God" (2 Chronicles 5:13,14). "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD" (Psalm 122:1). "Keep thy heart with all diligence" (Proverbs 4:23). "Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you…. Purify your hearts, ye double minded… Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord" (James 4:8,10).
When trumpeters
and singers skilled
Were praising
God with hearts as one,
The glory of the
Lord then filled
His house raised
up by Solomon.
There is a
gladness we enjoy
When hearts
unite around our Savior
With hymns of
praise that we employ
To thank Him for
His gracious favor.
No wonder, then,
we're told to guard
Our hearts with
careful diligence,
To keep our
hearts from growing hard
Through sinful
pride and impudence.
Our hearts inside
Your house, O Lord,
Are drawn to You
with pure delight
When You are
gratefully adored
And we are
humble in Your sight.
