L. M.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house.
Psalm 84:4.
How pleasant, how divinely fair,
Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are!
With long desire my spirit faints
To meet the assemblies of thy saints.
2 My soul 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 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.
4 Blest are the men whose hearts are set
To find the way to Zion’s gate;
God is their strength, and through the road,
They lean upon their Helper, God.
Watts.
