How pleasant, how divinely fair

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #84 (1789) Lyrics: 1 How pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are! With long desire my spirit faints To meet th' assemblies of thy saints. 2 My flesh would rest in thine abode, My panting heart cries out for God; My God! my King! why should I be So far from all my joys and thee. 3 The sparrow chuses where to rest, And for her young provides her nest; But will my God to sparrows grant That pleasure which his children want? 4 Blest are the saints who sit on high, Around thy throne above the sky; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. 5 Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of thy grace; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise. 6 Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Sion's gate; God is their strength; and thro' the road They lean upon their helper, God. 7 Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heav'n at length; Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there. Part II. 8 Great God, attend, while Sion sings The joy that from thy presence springs: To spend one day with thee on earth Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. 9 Might I enjoy the meanest place Within thy house, O God of grace, Not tents of ease, nor thrones of pow'r, Should tempt my feet to leave thy door. 10 God is our sun, he makes our day; God is our shield, he guards our way From all th' assaults of hell and sin, From foes without and foes within. 11 All needful grace will God bestow, And crown that grace with glory too; He gives us all things, and with-holds No real good from upright souls. 12 O God, our King, whose sov'reign sway The glorious hosts of heav'n obey, And devils at thy presence flee, Blest is the man that trusts in thee.
