Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 351 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 First Line: How pleasant, how divinely fair Lyrics: 1 How pleasant, how divinely fair,
O Lord of hosts! thy dwellings are!
With long desire my Spirit faints,
To meet the 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 Blest are the saints who sit on high,
Around thy throne of majesty;
Thy brightest glories shine above,
And all their work is praise and love.
4 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.
5 Cheerful they walk with growing strength,
Till all shall meet in heaven at length;
Till all before thy face appear,
And join in nobler worship there. Topics: The Lord's Day; Lord's Day; Opening of Service; Sabbath; Lord's Day; Opening of Service; Sabbath Used With Tune: MIGDOL
