How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling-Place

Hymn 517: How lovely is thy dwelling-place (Brother James's Air), recorded at Saint Paul's Church on Lake of the Isles, Minneapolis MN. This is a favorite hymn of our dear friend Shirley Holt, and affectionately offered for Shirley and Bob, and the greater Saint Paul's community.
How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
O Lord of hosts, to me!
My thirsty soul desires and longs
within thy courts to be;
my very heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for thee.
They who go through the desert vale
will find it filled with springs,
and they shall climb from height to height
till Zion's temple rings
with praise to thee, in glory throned,
Lord God, great King of kings.
