| | Psalm 132 |
| 1. | O surely I will not come in |
| | Within my house to stay, |
| | Nor yet give sleep unto my eyes, |
| | Till Jesus has His way. |
| | Upon the earth, the Lord desires |
| | A place where He may live; |
| | For this, Thy habitation, Lord, |
| | Myself I fully give. |
| 2. | We heard of it while yet far off, |
| | We found it in the way; |
| | We then came up into her courts, |
| | And here we'll ever stay. |
| | Arise, O Lord, into Thy rest, |
| | Thou and Thy ark so strong. |
| | Thy priests are clothed with righteousness; |
| | Thy saints with joy and song. |
| 3. | The Lord has sworn in truth to us, |
| | He will not turn away- |
| | His Seed shall sit with Him enthroned, |
| | And reign with Him for aye. |
| | The Lord hath found a place to dwell, |
| | Hath chosen Zion fair; |
| | His habitation it will be, |
| | It is His rest fore'er. |
| 4. | Her food abundant He will bless, |
| | Her needy, satisfy; |
| | And with salvation clothe her priests, |
| | And all her want supply. |
| | The horn of David's budding here, |
| | A lamp for earth's dark night. |
| | His enemies are clothed with shame, |
| | His saints with crowns of light. |
| 5. | And now within these latter days, |
| | Amidst earth's dark unrest, |
| | God's house is being built again |
| | And all His people blessed. |
| | Secure within the local church, |
| | With saints in one accord |
| | We meet to just release our praise, |
| | And thus enjoy the Lord. |
