Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
O how amiable are thy dwellings: thou Lord of hosts!
My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
VERSE 2
Yea the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young: even thy altars, O Lord of hosts my King and my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be alway praising thee.
VERSE 3
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee: in whose heart are thy ways.
Who, going through the vale of misery, use it for a well: and the pools are filled with water.
VERSE 3B
They will go from strength to strength: and unto the God of gods appeareth every one of them in Zion.
VERSE 4
O Lord God of hosts hear my prayer: hearken O God of Jacob.
Behold O God our defender: and look upon the face of thine Anointed.
VERSE 5
For one day in thy courts; is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God: than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness.
VERSE 6
For the Lord God is a light and defence: the Lord will give grace and worship, and no good thing shall he withhold from them that live a godly life.
O Lord God of hosts: blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee.
VERSE 7
Glory be to the Father and to the Son: and to the holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: World without end. Amen.
