In the house of the King of all glory;
                Contemplating the glory of God,
               As they worship the kind God of love.
                           3
             Just one day amidsts thy courts is better,
           Than a thousand years far from your presence;
              I would rather choose to be with God,
                  Than to dwell in wickedness.
                           4
            Oh, Lord God, my shield and mighty fortress,
              Now my soul is basking in your graces;
               I am dwelling in thy house, my Lord,
               And I can hear the voice of thy love.

             Jesus Christ, you have pardoned my soul,
                 Your aroma has filled all my life;
               Frbm the Valley of Sharon's perfume,
               Now it is overflowing from my heart.
                        CHORUS
                   You are my eternal God,
                Almighty King, Redeeming Lord;
               What divine love, my faithful friend,
                My inspiration, and saving grace.
                           2
                For so long I resisted your voice,
              I turned off my soul's strongest desire;
                But I felt my life so close to death,
             With such pain I confessed "I have sinned."
                           3
                I adore you, my kind loving Lord,
               I will follow you armed with my love;
              Such delights I have had by your side,
                 Now forever with you I will live.
