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.
5 Blessed is he whose strength's in thee, In whose heart are thy ways.
6 Who passing as through Bala's vale, Make it a place of wells, And the descending plenteous rain The pools with water fills.
