Christian Worship The Lord God Is A Sun And Shield Psalm 84
How lovely are thy dwellings fair,
O Lord of hosts, how dear
The pleasant tabernacles are
Where thou dost dwell so near!
Happy, who in thy house reside,
Where thee they ever praise,
Happy, whose strength in thee doth bide,
And in their hearts thy ways.
They pass through sorrow’s thirsty vale,
That dry and barren ground,
As through a fruitful, wat’ry dale,
Where springs and showers abound.
They journey on from strength to strength,
With joy and gladsome cheer,
Till all before our God at length
In Zion do appear.
For God the Lord, both sun and shield,
Gives grace and glory bright;
No good from them shall be withheld
Whose ways are just and right.
