Hymn 65 How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings

Verse 1 How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal Lord of hosts!

My soul is longing, fainting, for Thee, O living God.

Yea, the bird has found its home, built a nest to lay her young;

O that I may find Thine altars, my Lord, my King, my God!

Verse 2 How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal Lord of hosts!

For those who dwell in Thy house shall ever sing Thy praise!

Blest and happy is the man, who has found his strength in Thee;

He is stronger day by day, and shall in Zion dwell!

Last Verse How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal Lord of hosts!

Give ear unto my prayer, O God of Israel;

For a day with Thee is better than a thousand other days;

O that I may find Thine altars, my Lord, my King, my God!
