Your Home is Magnificent (Psalm 84)




Gary Hicks © 2010 Gary L. Hicks

may be sung to the Welsh hymn tune ST. DENIO
(Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise)

Your home is magnificent, LORD of the skies
From here in Your courtyard I lift up my eyes
The views are delightful, my eyes drink them in
My heart sings for joy at the beautiful scene.

The sparrow has found here a peaceable home
And even the swallow, a place for her young
For here on Your altars they placidly rest
While angels are watching they feather their nest.

How happy are those who call Your house their own
Their strength is in You, and to You they can run
Far better one day here than living with kings
I rest in Your presence, my happy heart sings!
