Building, daily building,
while the moments fly,
We are ever building
life work for on high!
Character we’re building,
thoughts and actions free
Make for us a building for eternity.
We are building day by day,
while the moments pass away,
We are building, ever building;
We are building day by day,
while the moments pass away,
We are building for eternity
Choosing, as we labor,
what we wish to take,
Oh let us be careful
for the Master’s sake!
He will help our labor,
He will strength bestow;
Let us choose for Jesus
all we use below.
We are building day by day,
while the moments pass away,
We are building, ever building;
We are building day by day,
while the moments pass away,
We are building for eternity
Hay or wood or stubble,
we must never use,
Offers of the tempter
we must e’er refuse.
Sinful thoughts and actions
will not stand the test;
Seeking God’s approval,
we must use the best.
We are building day by day,
while the moments pass away,
We are building, ever building;
We are building day by day,
while the moments pass away,
We are building for eternity
May the Lord approve us!
’Tis our earnest prayer.
Oh, to have our building tall,
and strong and fair!
Oh, to live for Jesus!
Truly every hour,
Building praying trusting
in His mighty power!
We are building day by day,
while the moments pass away,
We are building, ever building;
We are building day by day,
while the moments pass away,
We are building for eternity
