"God remembered... God hearkened... God hath taken away my reproach" (Genesis 30:22,23). "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD" (Psalm 122:1). "They that seek the LORD understand all things... Happy is the man that feareth [the Lord] always" (Proverbs 28:5,14). "For we are laborers together with God... ye are God's building" (1 Corinthians 3:9).
There is a glad experience
To which the saved can all
relate:
It is the day that one
repents,
When heaven's angels
celebrate!
The Lord has hearkened to
our voice;
Our sin's reproach He took
away.
How rightly do we now
rejoice
To go into His house
today!
How happily we seek Him
here
With brethren who exalt
our Savior,
Who worship Him in godly
fear
And thank Him for His
saving favor.
Lord, in this happy
habitation
Among the household of
Your own,
We marvel at Your great
salvation
And magnify Your name
alone.
