In the seventh month, Solomon assembles the elders of Israel and one hundred and twenty priests sound trumpets as the ark of the LORD’s covenant enters the inner sanctuary of the newly finished temple in Jerusalem.

Lyrics
Thus all the work that Solomon did for the Lord’s house was finished Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated
The silver, the gold, and all the vessels And put them in the treasuries of God’s house Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel And all the heads of the tribes
The princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel To Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord’s covenant Out of David’s city, which is Zion So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king
At the feast, which was in the seventh month All the elders of Israel came The Levites took up the ark They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting
And all the holy vessels that were in the Tent The Levitical priests brought these up King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel Who were assembled to him were before the ark
Sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered For multitude The priests brought in the ark of the Lord’s covenant To its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house
To the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark And the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen
From the ark in front of the inner sanctuary But they were not seen outside And it is there to this day There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets
Which Moses put there at Horeb When the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel When they came out of Egypt The moment of return, the covenant housed The presence descending
The ark is home The temple filled The presence descends The unveiling comes
