2462. How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings Fair

1. How lovely are Thy dwellings fair,
O Lord of hosts; how dear
The pleasant tabernacles are
Where Thou dost dwell so near!

2. Happy, who in Thy house reside,
Where Thee they ever praise!
Happy, whose strength in Thee doth bide,
And in their hearts Thy ways!

3. They journey on from strength to strength
With joy and gladsome cheer,
Till all before our God at length
In Zion doth appear.

4. Lord God of hosts that reign’st on high,
That man is truly blest
Who only on Thee doth rely,
And in Thee only rest.
