The churches are the Body

The churches are the Body

Of Christ on earth today.

They are His testimony

That He may have a way.

They are the golden lampstands

In cities far and wide.

They are His fighting army

And His beloved Bride.

The churches

the churches

Upon the earth today;

Lord

stir our hearts for Thy desire

And build us

oh

build us

Lord

we pray.

Oh

how we need the churches

All of them

great or small!

We need their many portions

To profit us withal.

Yes

Lord

enlarge the churches;

We love their needs to bear.

Enlarge our hearts

Lord Jesus

In fellowship and prayer.

The Lord’s eyes o’er the whole earth

Are running to and fro;

Those seven

burning

searching

Our heart’s desire to know.

His purpose—many churches

Built up in one accord;

This golden testimony

Will thus express the Lord.

And soon will be the coming

Of our triumphant King!

He’s coming for the churches

Where His sweet praises ring.

Come

Lord

come reap the firstfruits

As draws the harvest nigh

And to Thy throne do take us

To reign with Thee on high.
