1.     O God You are my God

Because You've been my help

In the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice!

I'll bless You while I live

And to You my all I give

O my soul longs and faints for Your courts!

              CHORUS

How amiable are Your tents! - (2)

There the sparrow has found a house

And the swallow a nest

I know there lies my rest

And I long for Your presence

O my soul longs and faints for Your courts!

2.O God my Sun and Shield

In You I'm safe and sealed

And no good thing, Lord from me You will withhold;

I've found Your presence sweet

With Your love and joy replete

O my soul longs and faints for Your courts!

3.The vale of tears I tread

Does only make me cry :

“Let Your grace fill deep in me coming as rain”

From strength to strength I'll go

And appear in Zion, I know

O my soul longs and faints for Your courts!

4.Your presence keeps me whole

Untainted in my soul

In this world I'll stay with You faithful and true

And ever sing Your praise

In Your courts of holiness

O my soul longs and faints for Your courts !
