Verse 1

  ( –)

How love-ly are Thy dwel-lings, O E-ter-nal Lord of Hosts,

 My soul is long-ing, faint-ing for Thee, O liv-ing God,

 Yea, the bird has found its home, built a nest to lay her young,

 SO that I may find Thine al-tars, My Lord, my King, my God!

Verse 2

  ( –)

How love-ly are Thy dwel-lings, O E-ter-nal Lord of Hosts,

 For those who dwell in Thy house shall ev-er sing Thy praise,

 Blest and hap-py is the man, who has found his strength in Thee,

 He is strong-er day by day, And shall in Zi-on dwell.

Verse 3

  ( –)

How love-ly are Thy dwel-lings, O E-ter-nal Lord of Hosts,

 Give ear un-to my pray-er, O God of Is-ra-el,

 For a day with Thee is bet-ter, than a thou-sand oth-er days,

 O that I may find Thine al-tars, My Lord, my King, my God.
