1. Lord of the worlds above,
   How pleasant and how fair
   The dwellings of thy love,
   Thine earthly temples are;
   To thine abode my heart aspires,
   With warm desires, to see my God.

2. The sparrow for her young,
   With pleasure seeks her nest;
   And wandering swallows long
   To find their wonted rest;
   My spirit faints with equal zeal,
   To rise and dwell among thy saints.

3. O happy souls, that pray
   Where God appoints to hear!
   O happy men, that pay
   Their constant service there!
   They praise thee still; and happy they,
   That love the way to Zion's hill.
