There Is a Habitation Lyrics

There is a habitation built by the living God
For all of every nation who seek that grand abode

[Chorus]
O Zion (Zion), O Zion (Zion)
I long thy gates to see (I long thy gates to see)
O Zion (Zion), O Zion (lovely Zion)
When shall I dwell in thee?

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