Your dwelling place

Psalm 83

  • Refrain:
    How lovely is your dwelling place, O God,
    How lovely is your dwelling place, O God.
  1. My soul is longing and yearning,
    yearning for the courts of the Lord.
    My heart and soul sing out their joy
    to God, the living God.
  2. The swallow find herself a home,
    a home for her family.
    She lays her young by your altar,
    O Lord, my God and my King.
  3. O they are happy who dwelling in your house,
    for ever singing praise.
    O they are happy 'cause the strength is in you,
    they walk with ever growing strength.
