Jesus, how bright his glory shines
In all his works above;
On earth his kind and wise designs
His church and people love.
He plans the temple of the Lord,
And all the building rears;
And be his holy name adored;
He all the glory bears.
The vast materials all he forms,
Nor love nor power he spares;
He guards the building from all harms,
And all the glory bears.
In this West building may my soul
A living stone appear;
And he, the builder of the whole,
Shall all thy glory bear.
No, not a stone shall be remov'd,
Which his dear hand has laid;
Throughout the whole his glory's showed,
And all his grace displayed.
When he the topmast stone shall bring
To heaven to see him there,
We shall the builder's praises sing,
And he the glory bear.
