Dwelling with God

Verse 1

The earth for ever is the Lord's, With Adam's num'rous race; He raised its arches o'er the floods, And built it on the seas.

Verse 2

But who among the sons of men May visit thine abode? He that has hands from mischief clean, Whose heart is right with God.

Verse 3

This is the man may rise and take The blessings of his grace; This is the lot of those that seek The God of Jacob's face.

Verse 4

Now let our souls' immortal powers To meet the Lord prepare, Lift up their everlasting doors, The King of glory's near.

Verse 5

The King of glory! who can tell The wonders of his might? He rules the nations; but to dwell With saints is his delight.
