My inheritance, the Lord, my promised expectation
How excellent my reward in him!
In him is my song, my cup and firm foundation
My tower, my all in all, the Lord!
Men: And now, my God, I search to see your face
Women: And rejoice in knowing you (...rejoice in knowing you)
Men: To find you in my eyes renewed by faith
Women: and adore forever more (...adore forever more)
Men: To taste of heaven in the center of my soul
Both: I long to love you, Lord!
In his goodness he has raised and placed me at his table
What thing could compare itself to you!
In your presence, Lord, my joy and my desire
Forever in you I long to live
Men: And now, my God, I search to see your face
Women: And rejoice in knowing you (…rejoice in knowing you)
Men: To find you in my eyes renewed by faith
Women: and adore forever more (…adore forever more)
Men: To taste of heaven in the center of my soul
Both: I long to love you, Lord!
I will lift my voice to you, with music celebrating
Your presence for all eternity
Rejoicing I will praise, on harp and lyre playing
My portion eternally receive!
Men: You are forever my portion, O Lord!
Women: My inheritance, the Lord!
Men: You are forever my portion, O Lord!
Women: My inheritance, the Lord!
Men: You are forever my portion
Both: My inheritance, the Lord!
