LyicsONE thing I of the Lord desir'd,
And will seek to obtain,
That all days of my life I may
Within God's house remain;
That I the beauty of the Lord
Behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
May rev'rently inquire.
For he in his pavilion shall
Me hide in evil days;
In secret of his tent me hide,
And on a rock me raise.
And now, ev'n at this present time,
Mine head shall lifted be
Above all those that are my foes,
And round encompass me:
Therefore unto his tabernacle
I'll sacrifices bring
Of joyfulness; I'll sing, yea, I
To God will praises sing.
