How Lovely Are Thy DwellingsWords: Anonymous, adapted from Psalm 84:1-5,8-10
1 How lovely are Thy dwellings,
O Eternal Lord of Hosts!
My soul is longing, fainting,
for Thee O living God.
Yea, the bird has found its home,
build a nest to lay her young;
O that I may find Thine altars,
my Lord, my King, my God!
2 How lovely are Thy dwellings,
O Eternal Lord of Hosts!
For those who dwell in Thy house
shall ever sing Thy praise!
Blest and happy is the man,
who has found his strength in Thee;
He is stronger day by day,
and shall in Zion dwell!
3 How lovely are Thy dwellings,
O Eternal Lord of Hosts!
Give ear unto my prayer,
O God of Israel;
For a day with thee is better
than a thousand other days;
O that I may find Thine altars,
My Lord, my King, my God!
