I How lovely are thy dwellings fair! 3 There ev'n the Sparrow freed from wrong Hath found a house of rest, The Swallow there, to lay her young Hath built her brooding nest, Ev'n by thy Altars Lord of Hoasts They find their safe abode, And home they fly from round the Coasts 10 4 Happy, who in thy house reside Where thee they ever praise, 5 Happy, whose strength in thee doth bide, And in their hearts thy waies. 6 They pass through Baca's thirstie Vale, That dry and barren ground Where Springs and Showrs abound. 7 They journey on from strength to strength With joy and gladsom cheer In Sion do appear. 8 Lord God of Hoasts hear now my praier O Jacobs God give ear, 9 Thou God our shield look on the face Of thy anointed dear. 10 For one day in thy Courts to be II For God the Lord both Sun and Shield 12 Lord God of Hoasts that raign'st on high, That man is truly blest Who only on thee doth relie.
