There is a habitation built by the living God
For all of every nation who seek that grand abode

O Zion (Zion), O Zion (Zion)
I long thy gates to see (I long thy gates to see)
O Zion (Zion), O Zion (Lovely Zion)
When shall I dwell in thee? (I dwell, I dwell)

No night is there, no sorrow
No death and no decay
No yesterday, no 'morrow
But one eternal day

O Zion (Zion), O Zion (Zion)
I long thy gates to see (I long thy gates to see)
O Zion (Zion), O Zion (Lovely Zion)
When shall I dwell in thee? (Zion, I long for)
