Builder of Ages

Builder of ag­es

plan­ner di­vine

Drawing the length and breadth

Of space and time;

Yet also mon­arch with king­dom to build

And gold­en ca­pi­tal still yet un­filled.

Surveyor

ar­chi­tect

crafts­man sub­lime

He drew the blue­print

Ere the start of time

Building with liv­ing stones fair tem­ples bright

Fixing our hearts in­to His halls of light.

First came the cor­ner­stone

Je­sus

our Lord;

We hear this migh­ty Rock

Call from the Word:

Build up My Church

says He

it can­not fail;

As long as you be­lieve

you will pre­vail.

As you are ga­thered here

so here am I;

Lift up your hearts and song

Unto the sky;

Call in My ci­ti­zens

do not de­lay;

Bring in My king­dom of the per­fect day.

So

in this year to come

we vow to build

Two things for Christ our king

With Spir­it filled:

First

we will make a house

fit for a king;

And build with­in our­selves hearts fit to sing.
