* 1.1HAppy are they our LORD has chose
In his blest Courts to dwell;
His Praises still their Thoughts employ,
* 1.2Their Tongues his Glory tell.

* 1.3There He his Loveliness makes known
To all who love his Name,
* 1.4And is to them a glorious Crown,
And beauteous Diadem.

* 1.5With a Celestial Banquet there
His Table's richly spread:
* 1.6The Wine's the Tincture of his Veins,
His Body is the Bread.

* 1.7To this blest Treat he calls his Friends,
* 1.8And bids 'em seast thereon;
* 1.9Pours fragrant Oil upon their Heads,
Gives Robes to every one.

* 1.10Nay, every contrite Mind to him
* 1.11A Holy Temple proves;
For humble Souls are his Delight,
And He dwells where he loves.

He at the Door of every Heart
* 1.12Does his kind Calls renew;
"Open to Me, and you shall sup
"With Me, and I with you.

And will the High and Lofty One* 1.13
Vouchsafe to dwell with Men?
Ope' then Eternal Doors, and let* 1.14
The King of Glory in.

This Entertainment, LORD, of Thine,* 1.15
So generous and free,
Cost many a Pang, and many a Groan,
And many a Wound to Thee.

Eternal Praise to thy Great Name,* 1.16
By all the Host of Heaven,
By every Nation, every Tongue,
And every Heart be given.
