Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) "O how amiable are Thy dwellings, thou Lord of hosts! My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young. Even Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house. They will be alway praising Thee. The glorious Majesty of the Lord our God be upon us. Prosper thou the work of our hands upon us. O prosper Thou our handiwork. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come. Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home."
