1. Holy priests are living stones For God's building work today; If these stones would builded be All the priest must learn to pray. (Chorus:) To the holiest often come, In the spirit touch the throne, Let the Lord flow thru in prayer, Thus the building work is done. 2. All the saints must serve as priests, That the living stones they be; Each must priestly work perform, Then their functions we will see. 3. Tent and priests of olden times Always did together go; When the priests served in the tent, Into one the two did flow. (Chorus:) To the holiest often come, In the spirit touch the throne, Let the Lord flow thru in prayer, Thus the building work is done. 4. Now the building spiritual And the priesthood all are one; Now the building of the house By the priestly work is done. 5. In the priests the substance is Of the building work replete; When the priests their work discharge, Then God's house will be complete. (Chorus:) To the holiest often come, In the spirit touch the throne, Let the Lord flow thru in prayer, Thus the building work is done. 6. Building God and man in one Is their work before the Lord; In this fellowship divine Saints are built in one accord. 7. When in prayer our spirits blend, Then together built are we, Then a priesthood we become, Off'ring sacrifice to Thee. (Chorus:) To the holiest often come, In the spirit touch the throne, Let the Lord flow thru in prayer, Thus the building work is done. 8. Grant us grace, O Lord, that we Treasure dear the priestly call; In the spirit serve and pray, That Thy church be built withal.
