1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place, O Lord of Hosts, to me! The tabernacles of thy grace, How pleasant, Lord, they be!
1 HOw lovely is thy dwelling-place, O Lord of Hosts, to me! The tabernacles of thy grace, How pleasant, Lord, they be!
2 My thirsty soul doth long and faint The Courts of God to see; My heart, and even my flesh cry out, O living God, for thee.
3 The sparrow hath found out a house, The swallow found a nest, Where she may lay her young, and where Her self and they may rest. Even near thy holy Altars they May make their safe abode; And why not I, seeing thou art My King and only God?
4 Blest are they in thy house that dwell, They always give thee praise.
