1.

Your mighty work among us, Lord, we’re seeing.
Your Church on earth grows forth in purity;
Called to express Your life, Your glorious being—
How great, how blest our lot when this we see!

Chorus:

Our songs of praise rise up to God on High!
His name we bless and magnify!
From all the earth now gathers Jesus’ bride,
For whom our Lord and Savior died.

2.

You build Your body here on one foundation.
Through battles every member must be tried.
We know this calling brings us tribulation
While on life’s sojourn here as Jesus’ bride.

3.

God’s temple rises; stones are built together,
And we are called to stand as pillars strong,
To bear the load, support and help each other.
How great this call! How blest to be along!

4.

In love esteeming highly one another,
Here in the brotherhood we’ve found our place.
We’ll give our life, with gladness, for each other.
Our lives are changed forever by God’s grace.

Chorus:

Our tribulations short and light will be!
We thank our God that this we see.
Think that we live in such amazing days!
The God of heav’n we thank and praise!
