22023. MY GOD AND KING
Lyrics & Stanzas
5 portions
Verse 1
My God and King, how beautiful are Your dwelling places, O Lord; And like a swallow longs for her nest, so long I after You!
Verse 2
Only one day, only one day, spent in the house of the Lord, Is better than lifetimes spent in the dark, in kingdoms of shadow and night.
Verse 3
Blessed is the man, how blessed is the man who places his trust in the Lord; His hope will sustain him, he will endure, and he will be kept from the fire.
Chorus
For the Lord is a sun and a shield, My hope and my song in the night. How beautiful, how beautiful are Your dwelling places, O Lord!
Coda
How beautiful, how beautiful are Your dwelling places, O Lord!
