Cybernun’s new video features Brahms’ “How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place” (Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen), from his German Requiem.
How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, indeed it faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
to the living God. …
Happy are those who live in your house,
ever singing your praise.(Psalm 84:1-2,4)
Not only the temple, not only the churches, are God’s dwelling, but all of creation — and each of us is also the dwelling place of God. “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” asks Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:16. How lovely is God’s dwelling place!
