I long to dwell under the refuge
Of your outstretched wing
Guarded by your glorious peace
Rejoicing in my King

I long to dwell where the air is filled
With songs of endless praise
Where every heart delights in you
And joy shapes all our days.

I long to dwell where glory lights
The streets we daily tread
Where you direct our every step
And by your grace we’re led

I long to dwell where your Son reigns
In perfect righteousness
The spotless Lamb for our sin slain
To give our souls their rest

I long to dwell where tears are wiped
From every bloodshot eye
By precious hands once pierced for us
So man no more may die

I long to dwell in that dear place
Where death will be no more
Where the light of your enduring love
Sustains us evermore
