Representative Text

1 I love the church of God,
The house that Jesus built,
And purchased by the precious blood,
For us He freely spilt.

Refrain:
Upon the sure foundation,
Not laid by human hand,
The glorious Rock, Christ Jesus,
The church shall ever stand.

2 Thou blessed bride of Christ!
Oh, lovely one, so pure!
Eternity adds bliss to bliss;
Thy happiness is sure. [Refrain]

3 Redeemed by Christ alone,
Cleansed in His precious blood;
Secure while endless ages roll,
Kept by the pow’r of God. [Refrain]

4 The Bridegroom soon will come,
His bride arrayed in white,
Unto Himself He will receive,
To dwell in endless light. [Refrain]
