I only know that life and death God's mercy underlies. 2 And if my heart and flesh are weak to bear an untried pain, the frailest reed God will not break, but strengthen and sustain. The frailest reed God will not break, but strengthen and sustain. 3 I know not where God's islands lift their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift beyond God's love and care. I only know I cannot drift beyond God's love and care.

May I its fragrant flowers glean, May light upon me shine! 6 O may I find my armor there! Thy Word, my trusty sword, I'll learn to fight with ev’ry foe The battle of the Lord; I'll learn to fight with ev’ry foe The battle of the Lord.

How lovely is thy dwelling place

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Beside thine altars, gracious Lord, the swallows find a nest; how happy they who dwell with thee and praise thee without rest, and happy they whose hearts are set upon the pilgrim's quest. 3 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. 4 One day within thy courts excels a thousand spent away; how happy they who keep thy laws nor from thy precepts stray, for thou shalt surely bless all those who live the words they pray. Topics: The Church Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: BROTHER JAMES' AIR Text Sources: The Psalms of David in Meeter, 1650 (sts. 1-2)
