Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #305 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, how lovely
the place where thou dost dwell!
Thy tabernacles holy
in pleasantness excel.
My soul is longing, fainting,
Jehovah's courts to see;
My heart and flesh are crying,
O living God, for thee.
2 Blest who thy house inhabit,
they ever give thee praise;
Blest all whom thou dost strengthen,
who love the sacred ways.
So they from strength unwearied
go forward unto strength,
Till they appear in Zion
before the Lord at length.
3 O hear, Lord God of Jacob,
to me an answer yield;
The face of thine Anointed,
behold, O God, our shield.
One day excels a thousand
if spent thy courts within;
I'll choose thy threshold, rather
than dwell in tents of sin.
4 Our sun and shield, Jehovah,
will grace and glory give;
No good will he deny them
that uprightly do live.
O God of Hosts, Jehovah,
how blest is ev'ry one
Who confidence reposes
on thee, O Lord, alone.
Amen. Topics: Assurance; The Church The Lord's House; The Church Love for; Longing for Christ and God Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN
