Dwelling Delights

Tune: Quam Dilecta

('We love the place, Lord')

Psalm 84 v.4-7

**********

Blesséd are they that dwell

In your house, Lord, they tell

Of your goodness, and still

Show forth your praises well

 

Blesséd are they who strong

Are, midst th joyful throng

Their strength is in you, Lord

In their heart is your word

 

In your ways they delight

Their path shines ever bright

Passing through Baca's* vale (*weeping)

They make it a spring, well

 

The rain too fills the pools

Shower of blessing falls

From strength to strength they go

The LORD God true they know

 

Each one of them appears

Before God, to Him nears

In Zion, His city

Dwelling with Him they be
