How lovely is thy dwelling-place, O Lord of hosts, to me

Metrical Psalm 84 (verses 1 to 5)
  1. How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
        O Lord of hosts, to me!
    The tabernacles of thy grace
        how pleasant, Lord, they be!
  1. My thirsty soul longs veh'mently,
        yea faints, thy courts to see:
    My very heart and flesh cry out,
        O living God, for thee.
  1. Behold, the sparrow findeth out
        an house wherein to rest;
    The swallow also for herself
        hath purchased a nest;
  1. Ev'n thine own alters, where she safe
        her young ones forth may bring,
    O thou almighty Lord of hosts,
        who art my God and King.
  1. Bless'd are they in thy house that dwell,
        they ever give thee praise.
    Bless'd is the man whose strength thou art,
        in whose heart are thy ways:
