¶Lyrics / Text

O how amiable are thy dwellings, thou Lord of Hosts! My soul hath a desire and a longing to enter into the Courts of the Lord, my heart and my flesh rejoyce in the living God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, They will alway be praising thee. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord, I will pay my vows unto the Lord in the sight of all his people, I will pay my vows in the Courts of the Lords house, ev'n in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.
