How Lovely Are Your Tabernacles

How lovely are Your tabernacles

This my heart doth seek;

Experience of Christ in all

The offerings we bring.

Once God as life supply

Now Eden’s ground withheld;

To taste the tree of life requires

An entrance once again.

My soul

my soul longs

For the courts of the Lord;

My heart and flesh cry out

To my God.

At Thy two altars

e’en the

Weakest sparrow may draw near.

The swallow come for refuge and

A nest for tender care.

Redeemed may entrance find

And offer thus in prayer

The resurrected Christ in His

Ascension

fragrance rare.

In our acceptance

God in peace

Hath made a living way

Our boldness now for entering

Within the Holiest Place.

’Tis here within the ark

Eternal portion share.

Incarnate Triune God and we

One testimony bear.

Eternally Thy house of rest;

With God

now consummate

We’re mingled

one

incorp’rate

In this mutual dwelling place.

The priests who live to God

Elect among man’s race.

Now Christ’s own Body are

To have His foretaste in this age.
