Lovely your Dwelling is Lyrics
1. Lovely your dwelling is,
Lord, God of heav’nly hosts!
How I have longed to be within your courts!
Heart, beat with love divine,
Tongue, tell your tale of joy,
Sing to the living God
Your song of bliss!
2. Sparrow and swallow build
Nests for their brood pf young,
So by your altar-throne in peace I rest!
Dwellers within your house
Praise you in endless song,
Happy to share as guests
Your heart and home!
3. Blessed are those who seek
Strength from your strength
alone happy the pilgrims set On Sion’s way!
Where desert valleys lie
Pilgrims will find cool springs
Fruitful the land will be from autumn rains!
4. Pilgrims to Zion’s hill
Strength upon strength will gain
Till at their journey’s end
Your glory dawns!
Hear this our pilgrims’ prayer,
Still be our shield, O Lord,
Bless your anointed one,
Be Israel’s God.
5. One day within your courts
Is bliss of heav’n to me
More than a thousand days
Of worldly joy!
Let me but stand and knock,
Waiting for entrance here
Poor I would rather be
Than rich in sin!
6. God is my light and shield,
Blessing he will bestow,
Making his glory shine on us, his friends!
No prayer will he refuse,
Pilgrims who tread his path,
Happy the man who trusts
In you, O Lord.
