1 Where shall we go to seek and find An habitation for our God, A dwelling for th' Eternal Mind Amongst the sons of flesh and blood?
2 The God of Jacob chose the hill Of Zion for his ancient rest; And Zion is his dwelling still, His church is with his presence blest.
3 Here will I fix my gracious throne, And reign for ever, saith the Lord; Here shall my power, and love be known, And blessings shall attend my word.
4 Here will I meet the hungry poor, And fill their souls with living bread; Sinners that wait before my door, With sweet provision shall be fed.
5 Girded with truth and cloth'd with grace, My priests, my ministers shall shine: Not Aaron, in his costly dress, Made an appearance so divine.
6 The saints, unable to contain Their inward joys shall shout and sing; The Son of David here shall reign, And Zion triumph in her King.
7 [Jesus shall see a numerous seed Born here, t' uphold his glorious Name; His crown shall flourish on his head, While all his foes are cloth'd with shame!]
