All praise to thee, for thou. O King divine,

Let this mind be in us which was in thee,

humbling thyself to death on Calvary:

Let every tongue confess with one accord
in heaven and earth that Jesus Christ is Lord;
and God eternal be by all adored:
Alleluia! Amen!

How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place
Words: Psalm 84
Music: Jane Marshall (1924–2019)
How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!
My soul longs, indeed faints for the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
E’en the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness.
For the LORD is a sun and shield; He bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly.
O LORD of hosts, happy is everyone who trusts in you.
