                     C/E                      Em     Bm       C2
   And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young:

             Am        FM7 C/E    Dsus D7
   In Your altars, my King and my God. (REF)


2. Blessed are they whose dwelling is Your own, Lord of Peace.
   Blest are they refreshed by springs and by rain, when dryness daunts and scathes.
   Behold my Shield, my King and my God. (REF)


3. I would forsake a thousand other days anywhere
   If I could spend one day in Your courts, belong to You alone.
   My strength are You alone: my Glory, my King and my God. (REF)
