God has risen in His dwelling

1.
God has risen in His dwelling
To fulfill what was foretold.
Words of life which He has spoken
Cause His grace in our lives to unfold.
Chorus:
Do you see who is the prophet,
He who is entrusted with God’s holy Word?
In the Spirit he has power;
By his life we are strengthened and stirred.
2.
Judgments, laws of life from Zion,
God to all the world imparts—
From the sanctuary flowing
To the thirsty with faith in their hearts.
3.
Who abides in God’s pavilions?
Who can dwell on Zion’s height?
They’re among faith’s mighty heroes,
Who in blessing and goodness delight.
(Ps. 15:1-5)
Chorus:
They are quick themselves to humble—
They who in their hearts stand on the truth alone.
They will dwell on high with Jesus
And bring life that comes forth from God’s throne.
