The Pleasure of Public Worship

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #LXXXIVa (1785) Hymnal Title: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David First Line: How pleasant, how divinely fair Lyrics: 1 How pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are! With long desire my spirit faints To meet th' assemblies of thy saints. 2 My flesh would rest in thine abode; My panting heart cries out for GOD; My God! my king! why should I be So far from all my joys and thee. 3 The sparrow chuses where to rest, And for her young provides her nest; But will my God to sparrows grant That pleasure which his children want? 4 Blest are the saints who sit on high, Around thy throne above the sky; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. 5 Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of thy grace; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face and learn thy praise. 6 Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion's gate; GOD is their strength, and thro' the road They lean upon their helper God. 7 Cheerful they walk with growing strength Till all shall meet in heaven at length: Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English
