Let us build a house of worship to the God of heaven and earth, where his Church may bow before him hear his Word and sing his worth! Not alone our bricks and mortar-- hearts and lives to God we raise: he will set his name forever on such building to his praise. Let us build on God's foundation-- Jesus Christ, whose blood atones; build with lives of grace and beauty-- gold and silver, precious stones. Let us build for now, forever-- build for those who live today, build for future generations truth that triumphs, come what may! Let us build to teach our children God's great glory, power and grace; build to bring our friends and neighbors glad good news for all our race; build to tell to all the nations life and health are theirs in God-- Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior! Sound his saving name abroad!
