Song Lyrics

---

Based on Psalm 84 sung to O For a Thousand tongues to sing

HOW LOVELY IS YOUR DWELLING PLACE
MY GOD ALMIGHTY LORD.
MY YEARNING SOUL LONGS TO EMBRACE
THOSE COURTS WHERE YOU'RE ADORED.

YES MY HEART AND MY FLESH CRY OUT
TO FEEL THE LIVING GOD.
I LOVE TO SING AND PRAISES SHOUT
AS TO YOUR HOUSE I TROD.

2
EVEN THE SPARROW FINDS A HOME
AND THE SWALLOW HER NEST,
WHERE THEY CAN CEASE TO FLY AND ROAM
AND IN YOUR PRESENCE REST.

BY YOUR ALTAR THEY REST AND SING
REJOICING IN THEIR YOUNG,
THERE TOO ALMIGHTY GOD AND KING
I WANT YOUR PRAISES SUNG.

3
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DWELL THEREIN
THE HOUSE OF YOUR ABODE,
THEY NEVER CEASE WHEN THEY BEGIN
YOUR PRAISES TO EXPLODE.

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR STRENGTH
OH LORD FROM YOU ON HIGH,
WITH HEARTS SET TO TRAVEL GREAT LENGTH
THEY'LL EVER DO OR DIE.

4
AS THEY PASS THROUGH BACA'S VALLEY
A PLACE OF SPRINGS THEY MAKE,
DESERT IT WILL NO LONGER BE
WITH POOLS ALL THIRST TO SLAKE.

FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH THEY EACH WILL GO
TILL BEFORE GOD APPEAR,
HEAR MY PRAYER LORD AND LET ME KNOW
YOU LISTEN AND YOUR NEAR.
