1.How lovely is Thy dwelling place,O Lord of hosts to me!The tabenacles of Thy graceHow pleasant, Lord, they be!2.My thirsty soul longs ardently,Yea, faints Thy courts to see;My very heart and flesh cry out,O living God, for Thee.3.Behold the sparrow findeth outA house where-in to rest;The swallow also, for herselfProvided hath a nest.4.Ev’n Thine own altars, where she safeHer young ones forth may bring,O Thou, almighty Lord of hosts,Who art my God and King.5.Blest are they in Thy house that dwell,They ever give Thee praise.Blest is the man whose strength Thou art,In whose heart are Thy ways.
