Text:Where shall we go to seek and find

293. Where shall we go to seek and find

1 Where shall we go to seek and find
An habitation for our God,
A dwelling for th' Eternal Mind,
Among 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 pow'r and love be known,
'And blessings shall attend my word.

4 'Here will I meet the hungry poor,
'And fill their souls with heav'nly 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 num'rous seed
'Born here, t' uphold his glorious name;
'His crown shall flourish on his head,
'While all his foes are cloth'd with shame.']
