To Jerusalem we’ve come

To Jerusalem we’ve come

We are through with Babylon

We have gathered to be one

O glory be to God!

Of the teachings we’re bereft

All opinions we have left

Spirit from the soul is cleft

In the local churches now.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

We are all in one accord

For the building of the Lord.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

We are living in the local churches now!

That recovery may proceed

Real priests are what we need—

Those who live in Christ indeed

O glory be to God!

Saturated with the Lord

They have Christ as their reward.

These the building work afford

In the local churches now.

And the kingship we must see

With divine authority—

To this rule we’ll all agree

O glory be to God!

To the Spirit we’ll submit

For the church’s benefit—

This is His prerequisite

In the local churches now.

We the altar must obtain

Have our all upon it lain.

The burnt-offering must be slain

O glory be to God!

This we never should dispute

For the church be absolute

All that’s otherwise uproot

In the local churches now.

The foundation now is laid—

O what glory doth pervade!

We are all with joy arrayed

O glory be to God!

Let us raise a mighty shout—

They will hear us far without

And the enemy we’ll rout

In the local churches now.
