Hymnal: The Book of Praise #52 (1997) Hymnal Title: The Book of Praise First Line: How lovely is thy dwelling-place 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 vehemently;
it 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 wherein to rest;
the swallow also for her young
hath found herself a nest,
4 thine altars, where she might bring forth
her young is safe abode,
O thou Almighty Lord of hosts,
my Sovereign and my God.
5 How blest are they in thy house
forever give thee praise.
Blest are all those strength thou art,
in whose heart are thy ways. Topics: God King; Grace; Longing for God and Christ; Metrical Psalms; Sanctuary; Thirst Scripture: Psalm 84:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: HARINGTON
