Verse 1:
How lovely is Thy dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts to me!
The tabernacles of Thy grace,
How pleasant, Lord, they be!
Verse 2:
My thirsty soul longs ardently,
Yea , faints Thy courts to see;
My very heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for Thee.

Behold the sparrow findeth out
A house wherein to rest;
The swallow also, for herself
Provided hath a nest.
Verse 4:
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.
Verse 5:
Blest are they in Thy house that dwell,
They ever give Thee praise.
Blest is the man whose strength Thou art,
In whose heart are Thy ways.
