How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place (Psalm 84) - Lyrics

Verse 1

How lovely is Thy dwelling place
O Lord of hosts to me
My soul is longing and fainting
The courts of the Lord to see
My heart and flesh
They are singing for joy to the living God
How lovely is Thy dwelling place
O Lord of hosts to me

Verse 2

Even the sparrow finds a home
Where he can settle down
And the swallow she can build
A nest where she may lay her young
Within the courts of the Lord of hosts
My King my Lord and my God
And happy are those who are dwelling
Where the song of praise is sung

Verse 3

And I'd rather be a door keeper
And only stay a day
Than live the life of a sinner
And have to stay away
For the Lord is shining as the sun
And the Lord He's like a shield
And no good thing does He withhold
From those who walk His way

Verse 4

How lovely is Thy dwelling place
O Lord of hosts to me
My soul is longing and fainting
The courts of the Lord to see
My heart and flesh
They are singing for joy to the living God
How lovely is Thy dwelling place
O Lord of hosts to me
