Composer: | Chas. H. Gabriel |
1 Faithful builders all are we,
Building for eternity,
Children of the mission bands,
Working with our hearts and hands.
Chorus:
One bright day our eyes shall see
Where the many mansions be,
Living stones we helped to bring
For the palace of our King.
2 One by one the stones we lay,
Building slowly day by day;
Building by our love are we,
In the lands beyond the sea. [Chorus]
3 Building in the Hindoo land,
Where the idols are as sand;
Living temples rise to view
As we work for China, too. [Chorus]
4 Building temples for our King,
By the off-rings we can bring;
Living temples He will raise
Fill'd with life, and light, and praise. [Chorus]
