How pleasant, how divinely fair,&lt;br&gt;<br /> O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are!&lt;br&gt;<br /> With long desire my spirit faints&lt;br&gt;<br /> To meet th' assemblies of thy saints.<br /> <br /> 2. My flesh would rest in thine abode,&lt;br&gt;<br /> My panting heart cries out for God;&lt;br&gt;<br /> My God, my King, why should I be&lt;br&gt;<br /> So far from all my joys and thee?<br /> <br /> 3. Blest are the saints who sit on high,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Around thy throne of majesty;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Thy brightest glories shine above,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And all their work is praise and love.<br /> <br /> 4. Blest are the souls that find a place&lt;br&gt;<br /> Within the temple of thy grace;&lt;br&gt;<br /> There they behold thy gentler rays,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.<br /> <br /> 5. Blest are the men whose hearts are set&lt;br&gt;<br /> To find the way to Zion's gate;&lt;br&gt;<br /> God is their strength, and, through the road,&lt;br&gt;<br /> They lean upon their helper, God.<br /> <br /> 6. Cheerful they walk, with growing strength,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Till all shall meet in heav'n at length;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Till all before thy face appear,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And join in nobler worship there.<br /> <br /> [[category:Hymns]]<br /> [[category:Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:British English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:8 8 8 8]]</div>
