LyicsHOW lovely is thy dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts, to me!
The tabernacles of thy grace
How pleasant, Lord, they be!
Bless'd are they in thy house that dwell,
They ever give thee praise.
Bless'd is the man whose strength thou art,
In whose heart are thy ways:
For they from strength unwearied go
Still forward unto strength,
Until in Zion they appear
Before the Lord at length.
For 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.
For 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.
O thou that art the Lord of hosts,
That man is truly blest,
Who, by assured confidence,
On thee alone doth rest.
