There Is A Habitation

by Love Humphreys Jameson

There is a habitation,
Built by the living God,
For all of every nation,
Who seek that grand abode.

A city with foundations
Firm as th'eternal throne;
Nor wars, nor desolation
Shall ever move a stone.

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

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 in thee?
