How Lovely Is Your Dwelling

Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:3-7 Lyrics: 1 How lovely is your dwelling, O Lord of hosts, to me; my soul is longing, fainting, the courts of God to see. The beauty of your dwelling will bring me joy anew. My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for you. 2 Beneath your care the sparrow finds place for peaceful rest; to keep her young in safety the swallow finds a nest. So, Lord, my King Almighty, your love will shelter me; beneath your wings of mercy my dwelling place will be. 3 Blest they who love and serve you, whose joy and strength you are. Forever they will praise you, your ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace; and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase.

Sun of My Soul

Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,436 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:11 First Line: Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near; Oh, may no earthborn cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Savior’s breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wand’ring child of Thine Has spurned today the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick, enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner’s sleep tonight, Like infants’ slumbers, pure and right. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in Heav’n above.

O God of Hosts, the mighty Lord

Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 Lyrics: 1 O God of Hosts, the mighty Lord, how lovely is the Place Where Thou, enthron'd in Glory, shew'st the Brightness of thy Face! 2 My longing Soul faints with Desire, to view thy blest Abode; My panting Heart and Flesh cry out for Thee the living God. 3 The Birds, more happy far than I, around thy Temple throng; Securely there they build, and there securely hatch their Young. 4 O Lord of Hosts, my King and God, how highly blest are they, Who in thy Temple always dwell, and there thy Praise display! 5 Thrice happy they, whose Choice has Thee their sure Protection made; Who long to tread the sacred Ways that to thy Dwelling lead! 6 Who pass thro' parch'd and thirsty Vales, yet no Refreshment want: Their Pools are fill'd with Rain, which Thou at their Request dost grant. 7 Thus they proceed from Strength to Strength, and still approach more near; 'Till all on Sion's holy Mount before their God appear. 8 o Lord, the mighty God of Hosts, my just Requests regard! Thou God of Jacob, let my pray'r be still with Favour heard: 9 Behold, O God, for Thou alone can'st timely Aid dispense; On thy anointed Servant look, be Thou his strong Defence. 10 For in thy Courts one single Day 'tis better to attend, Than, Lord, in any Place besides a thousand Days to spend. Much rather in God's House will I the meanest office take, Than in the wealthy Tents of Sin my pompous Dwelling make. 11 For God, who is our Sun and Shield, will Grace and Glory give; And no good Thing will He with-hold from them that justly live. 12 Thou God, whom heav'nly Hosts obey How highly blest is he, Whose Hope and Trust, securely plac'd, is still repos'd on Thee!

Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 677 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:4 Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am his and he is mine for ever. 2 Where streams of living water flow my ransomed soul he leadeth, and where the verdant pastures grow with food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, but yet in love he sought me, and on his shoulder gently laid, and home rejoicing brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill with thee, dear Lord, beside me; thy rod and staff my comfort still, thy cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight; thy unction grace bestoweth; and O what transport of delight from thy pure chalice floweth! 6 And so through all the length of days thy goodness faileth never: good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise within thy house for ever.
