Tune: Christchurch
('Now is eternal life')
Psalm 84 v.4-7, and v.11-12
*********
Blesséd are they that dwell
In your house, Lord, the tell
Of your greatness, goodness
Still with praises you bless
Blesséd are they whose strength is in
You, they do find comfort therein
And blessed too are they whose
heart is in your ways, choose
They sure to follow you
Even through valley too
Of Baca, Weeping, they do make
It as a well and solace take
The rain it also fills
The pools, land there it heals
Each one they stronger grow
The Lord they daily know
Every one there does appear
Before God, is presence is near
They of Zion, city
Jerusalem it be
The Lord, He is a sun
And shield, the holy
He will give grace and glory, no
Good thing withhold, but will it show
Will show to them that live
Righteously, His help give
O Lord of hosts, of power
Blesséd they through each hour
That trust in you and your great name
Your gracious presence e'er the same
