How pleasant, how divinely fair,

by Isaac Wa'm's (1674–1748)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 24 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 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.

Verse 2

Blest are the souls that find a place Within the temple of Thy grace; There they behold Thy gentle rays, And seek Thy face, and learn Thy praise.

Verse 3

Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion's fate. God is their strength; and through the road They lean upon their helper, God

Verse 4

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.
