Verse 1:
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!
Chorus:
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 with 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!
Verse 2:
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
Verse 3:
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!
Ending:
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!
