Laudes Domini ‎#71

71. Psalm 84

1 Lord of the worlds above!
How pleasant, and how fair,
The dwellings of thy love,
Thine earthy temples are!
To thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.

2 Oh, happy souls that pray,
Where God appoints to hear!
Oh, happy men who pay
Their constant service there!
They praise thee still; and happy they,
Who love the way to Zion's hill.

3 They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears;
Oh, glorious seat, when God, our King,
Shall thither bring our willing feet!
