Lyrics

One thing have I asked of the Lord, one thing I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
to behold the fair beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation, with sounds of great gladness.
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
