Mighty God, Come Build Your Mighty Church

Mighty God

come build Your migh­ty Church

Upon Your migh­ty Word!

In the ears of an as­tound­ed world

Make all Your wis­dom heard!

Let Your apos­tol­ic teach­ing

Forge in us a bond of awe

As Your peo­ple come to­ge­ther

Seeing more than Mo­ses saw:

Not in cloud

or fie­ry pil­lar

Come now to make us one

But in Word made flesh come show Your­self

Through Your Eter­nal Son!

As we praise Your name to­ge­ther

And wor­ship all You are

By the brok­en bread of Your own flesh

Come heal our ev­ery scar!

In a life-trans­form­ing won­der

Enter to show forth Your name.

Come en­grave on our new hearts

This Love that You pro­claim.

Work a mi­ra­cle of fel­low­ship

Among us as we pray

Open up our hearts to meet the needs

We lift to You to­day.

With great glad­ness and sin­ce­ri­ty

We praise our God and King

Seeing in our tri­als and tri­umphs

His hand in ev­ery­thing.

And whe­ther this world hates us

Or whe­ther it may smile

We will trust a sov­er­eign mer­cy

To be work­ing all the while

To aug­ment the glo­ri­ous choir

That sings in realms of end­less day

Of am­az­ing and un­bound­ed love

That nev­er fades away.
