Description

Lyrics
How lovely is thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, fainteth for for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Blessed are those who dwell in thy house,
ever singing thy praise!
How lovely is thy dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts to me!
