How lovely is thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts to me;
my soul is longing and fainting the courts of the Lord to see.
My heart and flesh, they are singing for joy to the living God;
how lovely is Thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts to me.

Even the sparrow finds a home where he can settle down;
and the swallow she can build a nest where she may lay her young,
within the courts of the Lord of hosts, my King, my Lord and my God;
and happy are those who are dwelling where the song of praise is sung.

I'd rather be a door-keeper and only stay a day,
than live the life of a sinner and have to stay away.
For the Lord is shining as the sun, and the Lord, He's like a shield;
and no good thing does He withhold from those who walk His way.

(repeat v1 to finish)
