Lyrics
How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings Fair
Music by Johannes Brahms, arr. by John F. Wilson
Words from Psalms 84: 1, 2, and 4, arr. by John F. Wilson
How lovely are thy dwellings fair, O Lord of hosts!
My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord.
My heart and flesh ring out their joy unto the living God!
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house,
they praise thee, Lord, forever.
How blessed are they that dwell in thy house,
they praise thee evermore.
How lovely are thy dwellings fair, Lord of Hosts!
