Refrain:

O How lovely is your dwelling place,

Dwelling of the Lord of hosts!

How we long 

for your house, O Lord,

Singing out a song of joy 

to the living God!


a home with you

And swallows lay 

their young to rest.

Blessed are those 

who dwell in you

And sing your praise, O God.


Refrain:

O How lovely is your dwelling place,

Dwelling of the Lord of hosts!

How we long 

for your house, O Lord,

Singing out a song of joy 

to the living God!


who find their strength in you

Whose hearts are highways 

for your will.

Bringing joy to those around them

They go from strength to strength.


Refrain:

O How lovely is your dwelling place,

Dwelling of the Lord of hosts!

How we long 

for your house, O Lord,

Singing out a song of joy 

to the living God!


O Lord God of hosts;

Receive our lives into your hands.

Look into the hearts 

of those you love

And grant us all we need!


Refrain:

O How lovely is your dwelling place,

Dwelling of the Lord of hosts!

How we long 

for your house, O Lord,

Singing out a song of joy 

to the living God!


within your house exceeds

A thousand spent away from you.

We would rather serve 

within your house

Than wealth and pow'r receive.


Refrain:

O How lovely is your dwelling place,

Dwelling of the Lord of hosts!

How we long 

for your house, O Lord,

Singing out a song of joy 

to the living God!


from all harm;

He gives his favour and his love.

All good things will come 

to those who love

The Lord and walk with him.


Refrain:

O How lovely is your dwelling place,

Dwelling of the Lord of hosts!

How we long 

for your house, O Lord,

Singing out a song of joy 

to the living God!
