REF:
How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God, Lord of all.
1. Even the lowly sparrow finds a home for her brood
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young;
In Your altars, my King and my God. (REF)
2. Blessed are they whose dwelling is Your own, Lord of Peace.
Blest are they refreshed by springs and by rain, when dryness daunts and scathes.
Behold my Shield, my King and my God. (REF)
3. I would forsake a thousand other days anywhere
If I could spend one day in Your courts, belong to You alone.
My strength are You alone: my Glory, my King and my God. (REF)
CODA:
How lovely Your dwelling place, O Lord, Mighty God, Lord of all!
