Hymn 119<br>
[[L.M.]]<br>
1. How pleasant, how divinely fair,<br>
O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are!<br>
With long desire my spirit faints<br>
To meet th' assemblies of thy saints.

2. My flesh would rest in thine abode,<br>
My panting heart cries out for God;<br>
My God, my King, why should I be<br>
So far from all my joys and thee?

3. Blest are the saints who sit on high,<br>
Around thy throne of majesty;<br>
Thy brightest glories shine above,<br>
And all their work is praise and love.

4. Blest are the souls that find a place<br>
Within the temple of thy grace;<br>
There they behold thy gentler rays,<br>
And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.

5. Blest are the men whose hearts are set<br>
To find the way to Zion's gate;<br>
God is their strength, and, through the road,<br>
They lean upon their helper, God.

6. Cheerful they walk, with growing strength,<br>
Till all shall meet in heav'n at length;<br>
Till all before thy face appear,<br>
And join in nobler worship there.
