Composer Notes
Written entirely in English, How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place is based on Psalm 84. The song illustrates the musical sensibilities of Fr. Arnel. While Psalm 84 appears in the lectionary for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time (B), you may also consider singing this song for Morning Prayer, All Soul’s Day, and funerals. —Ricky Manalo, CSP
