|
<p>Built on the Rock the church doth stand,<br>
|
|
Even when steeples are falling;<br>
|
|
Crumbled have spires in every land,<br>
|
|
Bells still are chiming and calling;<br>
|
|
Calling the young and old to rest,<br>
|
|
But above all the soul distressed,<br>
|
|
Longing for rest everlasting.</p>
|
|
<p>Surely in temples made with hands,<br>
|
|
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;<br>
|
|
High above earth His temple stands,<br>
|
|
All earthly temples excelling;<br>
|
|
Yet He whom heavens cannot contain<br>
|
|
Chose to abide on earth with men,<br>
|
|
Built in our bodies His temple.</p>
|
|
<p>We are God’s house of living stones,<br>
|
|
Builded for His habitation;<br>
|
|
He through baptismal grace us owns,<br>
|
|
Heirs of His wondrous salvation;<br>
|
|
Were we but two His Name to tell,<br>
|
|
Yet He would deign with us to dwell,<br>
|
|
With all His grace and His favor.</p>
|
|
<p>Now we may gather with our King;<br>
|
|
Even in the lowliest dwelling:<br>
|
|
Praises to Him we there may bring,<br>
|
|
His wondrous mercy foretelling;<br>
|
|
Jesus His grace to us accords,<br>
|
|
Spirit and life are all His words,<br>
|
|
His truth doth hallow the temple.</p>
|
|
<p>Still we our earthly temples rear,<br>
|
|
That we may herald His praises;<br>
|
|
They are the homes where He draws near<br>
|
|
And little children embraces,<br>
|
|
Beautiful things in them are said,<br>
|
|
God there with us His covenant made,<br>
|
|
Making us heirs of His Kingdom.</p>
|
|
<p>Here stands the font before our eyes<br>
|
|
Telling how God did receive us;<br>
|
|
The altar recalls Christ’s sacrifice<br>
|
|
And what His table doth give us;<br>
|
|
Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim<br>
|
|
Christ yesterday, today, the same,<br>
|
|
Yea, and for aye our Redeemer.</p>
|
|
<p>Grant then, O God, wherever men roam,<br>
|
|
That, when the church bells are ringing,<br>
|
|
Many in saving faith may come<br>
|
|
Where Christ His message is bringing:<br>
|
|
“I know Mine own, Mine own know Me;<br>
|
|
Ye, not the world, My face shall see.<br>
|
|
My peace I leave with you.”</p>
