Desirous Dwelling

Tune: Bunessan

(\'Morning has broken\')

Psalm 132 v.13-18

*********

For the LORD, mount Zion chosen has He

Desired it His habitation be

This is His rest, it be for ever here

He has desired it, here will dwell clear

 

He her provision will bless abundant

Satisfies her poor, bread to them sent

And will her priests with true salvation clothe

A glorious dress, a righteous robe

 

He will give to them, and them beautify

They be covered, spirits to Him fly

And her saints aloud for joy they shall shout

From holy city praises ring out

 

There He will make horn* of David bud sure

Strength, salvation, luculent** e\'ermore

He a lamp for His anointed ordained

To give light, in His plan He arranged

 

His enemies with shame He shall clothe low

But upon Him His crown flourish, so

His victory, His triumph, be seen sure

In His dwelling, e\'er it He secures
