This is the time for building the temple of the Lord
That all the local churches may fully be restored.
’Tis not the time for our house while God’s house lieth waste—
O brothers
for God’s building
rise up
make haste!
Be strong
be strong
God’s dwelling place to build!
The Lord of hosts is with us
with His glory ’twill be filled!
and work in one accord
That all the nations may behold the temple of the Lord.
O hear
the Lord is speaking: Consider now your ways
Ye sow and bring in little
for lacking is My praise.
Go up into the mountain
material to provide
And build My house that I may be glorified.
Ye who are priests
ye remnant of Christians now obey—
The Lord Himself is with us
whatever men may say
With spirits stirred and burning
now let us come to work;
May none his part with others in building shirk.
I’ll fill this house with glory
the Lord of hosts has said
And the desire of nations will be exhibited.
Its glory will be greater than all that’s gone before
And we will share this glory forevermore.
