1. How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal Lord of Hosts!
My soul is longing, fainting for Thee, O living God.
Yea, the bird has found its home, built a nest to lay her young;
O that I may find Thine altars, My Lord, my King, my God!
?
2. How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal Lord of Hosts!
For those who dwell in Thy house shall ever sing Thy praise!
Blest and happy is the man who has found his strength in Thee;
He is stronger day by day, and shall in Zion dwell!
?
3. How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal Lord of Hosts!
Give ear unto my prayer O God of Israel,
for a day with Thee is better than a thousand other days;
O that I may find Thine altars, My Lord, my King, my God!
