1 How lovely are thy dwellings,
How lovely are thy dwellings,
How lovely are thy dwellings,
O Lord of hosts.

How lovely are thy dwellings,
How lovely are thy dwellings,
How lovely are thy dwellings,
O Lord of hosts.
My soul doth long doth long to enter thy courts,

Blessed are they who dwell in thy house;
For they shall always praise thee,
they shall always praise thee,
They shall always praise thee, O Lord of Hosts.
