Lyrics
Verse 1
There is a habitation,
Built by the living God
For all of every nation,
To seek that grand abode.
Verse 2
A city with foundations
Firm as the eternal throne,
No wars, no desolations,
Shall ever move a stone.
Verse 3
No night, is there no sorrow,
No death and no decay;
No yesterday, no morrow,
But one eternal day.
Verse 4
Within its pearly portals,
Angelic armies sing;
With glorified immortals,
The praises of its king.
Chorus
O Zion, Zion, I long thy gates to see;
O Zion, Zion, when shall I dwell with thee.
