How lovely is Thy holy place, 

D / . . G . . D . . A . . D.G . D . A / . D / 
How good and pleasant is Thy dwelling! 

D / / . . G . D / . G / . . D . E A / 
O how my soul longs earnestly, 

D / . . . / . . G . .D/G/ D . . .E . A / 
Yea, faints Thy holy courts to see 

D / . A .G . A / . . . D / G . D . G / D / 
Mid festal throngs and music swelling. 

D / . D . . G . .D / . G / .A .G .D / 
My heart and flesh cry out to God; 

D / . / . A . . / . . .G . D / . . A / D / 
To Him I spread my hands abroad.

D / . / . / G . D . . A . D . . A / D 
The sparrow finds a home to rest; 

D / . . G . / . . D . / . A / . . G/. D / 
The swallow deftly builds her nest 

D / . G . .D . . A . . D.G . . D . A /D 
And has her young beside Thy altar. 

D / . . / . . . G . D / . G / . D . . E . A / 
So, LORD of hosts, my God, my King, 

D / . / G .. D/G/ . D .E . . A / 
I seek the shelter of Thy wings; 

D / . . A . G . A / D / G . D . . G /D / 
Thou wilt not let me slip and falter. 

D . / . /. . . G . .D / . G / . . A . . G . . D /

How blest are those whose strength Thou art, 

D / . .G . / . . D . / . . / . . A/.G / . D / 
Who on Thy ways have set their heart - 

D / . . G . . D .A . D . .GD A /D 
The highways to Thy habitation. 

D /. . / . .G . D/G / . . D . E . . A / 
For them refreshing fountains flow 

D / . . . / . . G . . . . . D/G/ . D .E . A/ 
When they through Baca’s valley go, 

D / A .G . A / . . . D / G D G/D / 
A land of drought and desolation. 

D / . / . G . D / . G / . . A .G . . D / 
The wilderness, with showers blest, 

D /. . / . . A . . / . .G D / .A/ D / 
Becomes for them a vale of rest.

D / . . . / . / . . G . D . . . . . A . . . D . A / D 
From strength to strength God’s people go, 

D / . G . / .D . . . / . . A/. . G/ . D / 
And He to them His face will show 

D/ G D . . A . . . .D. .G D . A / . D 
In Zion’s courts, His holy dwelling.

To him Thy power and love unfold.

D / . / / G . .D . A . D . . . .A . / D 
Lo, one day in Thy house of praise 

D/G . / . D . . / .A / . G / . D / 
Is better than a thousand days 

D / .G . D . . A . . .D .G . .D . A/ D 
Outside the courts of Thy salvation. 

D / . / . .G . . D / . G / .D . . . E . . A / 
As one who fears and serves the LORD, 

D / . / . . G . . .D /G/ . D . . E . . A/ 
I would much rather stand and guard 

D / . A . . .G . A/ D/ . G.D G/D / 
The threshold of His habitation 

D . / . / . . G . . .D / .G / A . . .G .D / 
Than, far from God, to dwell within 

D / . / . . . A . . / G . .D / . A / D / 
The tents of wickedness and sin.

D / . / . / . . G . . D . . A . . D . A / D 
The LORD His goodness has revealed: 

D/ G. / .D ./ . A/ .G/ . D / 
He is to us a sun and shield, 

D / .G . D . A . . D.G . . .D . .A / D 
For He bestows renown and favour. 

D / . . / . . G . . D /G / . D . .E . A / 
And when the upright seek His face, 

D / . . / . . . .G . .D / .G/ . D . . E . .A / 
The LORD will not withhold His grace; 

D / . A . G . A / .D / G . .D G/D/ 
His faithfulness endures forever. 

D . / . / . . G .D / . G / . . A . .G .D / 
O LORD of hosts, how blest is he 

D / . . / . . A . / . . . G . .D / . A / D / 
Who puts his hope and trust in Thee.
