Isaac Watts (1674-1748). Psalm lxxxiv.

LORD of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of thy love,
Thy earthly temples, are!
  To thine abode
   My heart aspires,
   With warm desires
  To see my God.

O happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear !
O appy men that pay
Their constant service there !
  They praise thee still;
   And happy they
   That love the way
  To Zion's hill.

They go from strength to strength
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length.
Till each in heaven appears:
O glorious scat.
  When God our King
  Shall thither bring
Our willing feet!
