But when the conflict shall be o'er, Then, then, that Sabbath shall ensue, Entering the Sanctuary, bow the head, and say, — ORD, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thine or dwelleth. That I may show the voice of thanksing, and tell of all Thy wondrous. ks. One thing have I desired of the Lord, hat will I seek efter: that I may dwell in he house of th Lord all the days of my ife, to beholde beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in is temple. When T saidst, Seek ye my face, my heart said unto Thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. Open me the gates of righteousness, that I may go into them, and give thanks unto the Lord. After the Benediction, bow the head, and say, WE have been abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house, and Thou hast made us drink of the river of Thy pleasure for with Thee is the fountain of life, in Thy light shall we see Light. Thou hast brought us to Thy mountain, and made us joyful in the house of prayer; and we have found it good for us to draw near to God.
