Not Made with Hands (Brown)

lyricist: John Brown, 1900
Composer: Avanelle Dyer

Christ went a build­ing to pre­pare

Not made with hands

And ’twill be decked with jew­els rare

Not made with hands.

I know

I know

I have an­oth­er build­ing;

I know

I know

’Tis not made with hands.

Put on the ar­mor of our God

Not made with hands

And take the path our cap­tain trod

Not made with hands.

Keep fight­ing sin

that aw­ful foe

Not made with hands

Until you hear the trum­pet blow

Not made with hands.

Then come up

child­ren

get your crown

Not made with hands

When you have laid your ar­mor down

Not made with hands.

That ci­ty’s built with pre­cious stone

Not made with hands

Within we’ll ga­ther ’round the throne

Not made with hands.
