Christ's Church Shall Glory in His Power
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #616 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 First Line: Christ's church shall glory in his pow'r Lyrics: 1 Christ’s church shall glory in his pow'r
And grow to his perfection;
He is our rock, our mighty tow'r
Our life, our resurrection:
So by his skillful hand
The church of Christ shall stand;
The master-builder's plan
He works, as he began,
And soon will crown with splendor.
2 Christ's people serve his wayward world
To whom he seems a stranger;
He knows its welcome from of old,
He shares our joy, our danger:
So strong, and yet so weak,
The church of Christ shall speak;
His cross our greatest need,
His word the vital seed
That brings a fruitful harvest.
3 Christ's living lamp shall brightly burn,
And to our earthly city
Forgotten beauty shall return,
And purity and pity:
To give the oppressed their right
The church of Christ shall fight;
And though the years seem long
He is our strength and song,
And he is our salvation.

4 Christ's body triumphs in his name;
One Father sov'reign giver.
One Spirit, with his love aflame,
One Lord, the same for ever.
To you, O God, our prize
The church of Christ shall rise
Beyond all measured height,
To that eternal light
Where Christ shall reign all-holy.
