Great our joy as now we gather
Where
the Master makes us one:
Where
we worship God the Father
Thro’
the Spirit of His Son.
All
who search for His church
Find
it where His will is done.
2
Precious
is the tie that binds us
To
our God when faith grows cold;
Precious
all that now reminds us
He
is still our safe strong hold.
Faithful
love serves to prove
Here
the Shepherd has His fold.
3
May
we learn from Christ’s example
How
to use this house of prayer:
He
who loved and cleansed His temple
Wants
us all to worship there.
God
the Son shut out none:
In
His Kingdom all may share.
4
Lord,
inspire us with Your vision
Of
a world which must be won!
Glorious
is the church’s mission,
Long
endeavored, scarce begun!
Faithful
now this is how
God’s
eternal will is done.
