849  THE CHURCH — Her Building

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.
