E             A                E 
How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord! 
      C#m                              B7 
What peace and joy to feel so close to You! 
      F#m               B7                   E              C#m 
Our heart and soul ring out their joy this morning/evening, 
     D7              B7               E 
We long to meet You, God, the living God.

The sparrow even here has found a shelter, 
                                    B7 
The shallow by Your altars builds a nest. 
                                     E 
O happy those whose dwelling is Your temple, 
           A        B7              E 
Who day by day Your praises sing, O Lord. 
 
       E            G#m              E 
One day within Your courts indeed is better 
                                       B7 
Than thousand days elsewhere afar from You. 
                                   E 
To wait upon the threshold of Your temple 
      A           B7                E 
Is better than to waste our life in vain. 
 
      E             G#m                 E 
O Lord, You are our strength and our protection. 
                                     B7 
Your favour and Your glory, grant us now. 
                                 E 
Refuse not any good to those who love You, 
       A           B7            E 
The people that is Yours for evermore.
