[Work Song]
Bring the blue and scarlet,
Bring the linen spun,
Bring the gold for mercy,
Bring what willing hearts have won.
Carvers shape the timber,
Smiths prepare the rings;
Wisdom fills the workers
For the dwelling of the King.
[Verse 1]
Curtain joined to curtain,
Board beside the board,
Ark beneath the cherubim,
A table for the Lord.
Lampstand bright with branches,
Incense rising sweet,
Bronze for altar, basin,
Silver sockets at their feet.
[Chorus]
Then glory filled the tabernacle,
Cloud concealed the holy place.
Moses could not enter
For the weight of present grace.
By the cloud the camp would journey,
By its resting they would stay;
Fire above the tent by nighttime,
Cloud before them through the day.
[Verse 2]
Garments for the priesthood,
Stones upon the breast,
Names of Israel carried
Where the holy presence rests.
Every piece completed
As the Lord had given command;
Moses blessed the labor
Of the willing heart and hand.
[Final Chorus]
Then glory filled the tabernacle,
Not a palace built for fame,
But a dwelling in the wilderness
Raised beneath the holy name.
Every journey held its guidance,
Every night received its flame;
Glory filled the tabernacle,
And the Lord went with their camp.
