Psalm 84

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 501 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 First Line: Lord of the worlds above Lyrics: Lord of the worlds above, How pleasant and how fair The dwellings of thy love, Thy earthly temples are! To thine abode My heart aspires, With warm desires To see my God. The sparrow for her young With pleasure seeks a nest, And wand'ring swallows long To find their wonted rest: My spirit faints With equal zeal To rise and dwell Among thy saints. O happy souls that pray Where God appoints to hear! O happy men that pay Their constant service there! They praise thee still And happy they That love the way To Zion's hill. They go from strength to strength, Through this dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length, Till each in heav'n appears: O glorious seat, When God our King Shall thither bring Our willing feet! To spend one sacred day Where God and saints abide, Affords diviner joy Than thousand days beside: Where God resorts, I love it more To keep the door Than shine in courts. God is our sun and shield, Our light and our defence; With gifts his hands are filled, We draw our blessings thence: He shall bestow On Jacob's race Peculiar grace And glory too. The Lord his people loves; His hand no good withholds From those his heart approves, From pure and pious souls: Thrice happy he, O God of hosts, Whose spirit trusts Alone in thee.

Psalm 84: How lovely is thy dwelling-place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 First Line: How lovely is thy dwelling-place Lyrics: 1How lovely is thy dwelling-place, O Lord of hosts, to me! The tabernacles of thy grace how pleasant, Lord, they be! 2My thirsty soul longs veh’mently, yea faints, thy courts to see: My very heart and flesh cry out, O living God, for thee. 3Behold, the sparrow findeth out an house wherein to rest; The swallow also for herself hath purchased a nest; 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. 4Bless’d are they in thy house that dwell, they ever give thee praise. 5Bless’d is the man whose strength thou art, in whose heart are thy ways: 6Who passing thorough Baca’s vale, therein do dig up wells; Also the rain that falleth down the pools with water fills. 7So they from strength unwearied go still forward unto strength, Until in Sion they appear before the Lord at length. 8Lord God of hosts, my prayer hear; O Jacob’s God, give ear. 9See God our shield, look on the face of thine anointed dear. 10For in thy courts one day excels a thousand; rather in My God’s house will I keep a door, than dwell in tents of sin. 11For God the Lord’s a sun and shield: he’ll grace and glory give; And will withhold no good from them that uprightly do live. 12O thou that art the Lord of hosts, that man is truly blest, Who by assured confidence on thee alone doth rest.

Psalm 84 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 352 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 First Line: How pleasant, how divinely fair Lyrics: How pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are! With long desire my spirit faints To meet th' assemblies of thy saints. My flesh would rest in thine abode, My panting heart cries out for God; My God! my King! why should I be So far from all my joys and thee? The sparrow chooses where to rest, And for her young provides her nest; But will my God to sparrows grant That pleasure which his children want? Blest are the saints who sit on high Around thy throne of majesty; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of thy grace; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise. Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion's gate; God is their strength, and through the road They lean upon their helper God. Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heav'n at length, Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there.

God is our sun, he makes our day; God is our shield, he guards our way From all th' assaults of hell and sin, From foes without and foes within. All needful grace will God bestow, And crown that grace with glory too! He gives us all things, and withholds No real good from upright souls.

Pleasant are thy courts above

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 248 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 Lyrics: Pleasant are thy courts above, In the land of light and love; Pleasant are thy courts below, In this land of sin and woe. O my spirit longs and faints For the converse of thy saints, For the brightness of thy face, For thy fullness, God of grace! Happy birds that sing and fly Round thy altars, O Most High! Happier souls that find a rest In a heavenly Father's breast! Like the wandering dove, that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair And enjoy it ever there. 425 Happy souls! their praises flow Ever in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies: On they go from strength to strength Till they reach thy throne at length, At thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by thy saving grace; Give me at thy side a place. Sun and shield alike thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart. Grace and glory flow from thee; Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! Amen.

Psalm 84

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 158 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:1-4 First Line: My soul, how lovely is the place Lyrics: My soul, how lovely is the place To which thy God resorts! 'Tis heav'n to see his smiling face, Though in his earthly courts. There the great Monarch of the skies His saving power displays, And light breaks in upon our eyes With kind and quick'ning rays. With his rich gifts the heav'nly Dove Descends and fills the place, While Christ reveals his wondrous love, And sheds abroad his grace. There, mighty God, thy words declare The secrets of thy will; And still we seek thy mercy there, And sing thy praises still. My heart and flesh cry out for thee, While far from thine abode; When shall I tread thy courts, and see My Savior and my God? The sparrow builds herself a nest, And suffers no remove; O make me, like the sparrows, blest, To dwell but where I love. To sit one day beneath thine eye, And hear thy gracious voice, Exceeds a whole eternity Employed in carnal joys. Lord, at thy threshold I would wait While Jesus is within, Rather than fill a throne of state, Or live in tents of sin. Could I command the spacious land, And the more boundless sea, For one blest hour at thy right hand I'd give them both away.

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.

Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name!

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 185 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:3 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name! Thy glories how diffused abroad, Through the creation's frame. 2 Nature in every dress Her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t' express Thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her Creator too; Fain would my tongue adore my King, And pay the worship due. 4 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true, Until 't is formed again. 5 Descend, celestial fire, And seize me from above; Melt me in flames of pure desire, A sacrifice to love. 6 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God, my soul, ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.
