Hymnal of the Church of God ‎#413

413. O Church of God

1 The church of God one body is,
One Spirit dwells within;
And all her members are redeemed,
And triumph over sin.

Refrain:
O Church of God! I love thy courts,
Thou mother of the free;
Thou blessed home of all the saved,
I dwell content in thee.

2. Divinely built, divinely ruled,
To God she doth submit;
His will her law, his truth her guide,
Her path is glory-lit. [Refrain]

3 God sets hr members each in place,
According to his will--
Apostles, prophets, teachers, all,
His purpose to fulfill. [Refrain]

4 Salvation is her holy walls,
The cross her sign of pow'r;
Her captain is the mighty God,
Who guards her every hour. [Refrain]

5 In beauty stand, O Church of God,
With righteousness arrayed;
Put on thy strength and face thy foes
With courage undismayed. [Refrain]

Amen.
