Holy priests are living stones
For God’s building work today;
If these stones would builded be
All the priests must learn to pray.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
All the saints must serve as priests,
That the living stones they be;
Each must priestly work perform,
Then their functions we will see.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
Tent and priests of olden times
Always did together go;
When the priests served in the tent,
Into one the two did flow.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
Now the building spiritual
And the priesthood all are one;
Now the building of the house
By the priestly work is done.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
In the priests the substance is
Of the building work replete;
When the priests their work discharge,
Then God’s house will be complete.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
Building God and man in one
Is their work before the Lord;
In this fellowship divine
Saints are built in one accord.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
When in prayer our spirits blend,
Then together built are we,
Then a priesthood we become,
Off’ring sacrifice to Thee.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
Grant us grace, O Lord, that we
Treasure dear the priestly call;
In the spirit serve and pray,
That Thy church be built withal.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
