| O Lord of Hoasts how dear | B |
| The pleasant Tabernacles are | C |
| Where thou do'st dwell so near | B |
| My Soul doth long and almost die | D |
| Thy Courts O Lord to see | E |
| My heart and flesh aloud do crie | B |
| O living God for thee | E |
| There ev'n the Sparrow freed from wrong | F |
| Hath found a house of rest | G |
| The Swallow there to lay her young | H |
| Hath built her brooding nest | G |
| Ev'n by thy Altars Lord of Hoasts | E |
| They find their safe abode | I |
| And home they fly from round the Coasts | E |
| Toward thee My King my God | J |
| Happy who in thy house reside | K |
| Where thee they ever praise | E |
| Happy whose strength in thee doth bide | K |
| And in their hearts thy waies | E |
| They pass through Baca's thirstie Vale | L |
| That dry and barren ground | M |
| As through a fruitfull watry Dale | L |
| Where Springs and Showrs abound | M |
| They journey on from strength to strength | N |
| With joy and gladsom cheer | B |
| Till all before our God at length | N |
| In Sion do appear | B |
| Lord God of Hoasts hear now my praier | B |
| O Jacobs God give ear | B |
| Thou God our shield look on the face | E |
| Of thy anointed dear | B |
| For one day in thy Courts to be | E |
| Is better and mere blest | G |
| Then in the joyes of Vanity | E |
| A thousand daies at best | G |
| I in the temple of my God | J |
| Had rather keep a dore | B |
| Then dwell in Tents and rich abode | I |
| With Sin for evermore | B |
| For God the Lord both Sun and Shield | O |
| Gives grace and glory bright | P |
| No good from him shall be with held | Q |
| Whose waies are just and right | P |
| Lord God of Hoasts that raign 'st on high | D |
| That man is truly blest | G |
| Who only on thee doth relie | L |
| And in thee only rest | G |
