Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How lovely is Thy dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts to me!
The tabernacles of Thy grace
How 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 out
A house where-in to rest;
The swallow also, for herself
Provided hath a nest.
4 Ev’n Thine own altars, where she safe
Her 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. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: MCKEE Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650
