Let the Church Shine On!
Author: Mary Kay Beall Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Not a temple made with hands Lyrics: Refrain:
Let the Church shine on!
Let the Church shine on!
From ages past till the trumpet sounds,
let the Church shine on!
1 Not a temple made with hands,
but a church of living stones.
Not a steeple high and proud,
but a church of flesh and bone.
Together we are called to shine
as stars at heaven's decree;
to pray and praise and glorify,
and case the dark to flee. [Refrain]
2 Not a temple made with hands,
but the Spirit's dwelling place.
Not a steeple high and proud,
but a family by God's grace.
Together, servants of the Lord
by heaven's promise stirred,
reborn, reclaimed, made new in Christ,
by Water and the Word. [Refrain]
3 Not a temple made with hands,
but partners young and old.
Not a steeple high and proud,
but sheep within God's fold.
Together till the Kingdom comes,
inviting all to share
the great good news of Jesus Christ
in song, in word and prayer. [Refrain] Topics: Church Used With Tune: LIVING STONES

Tenting By The Cross
Author: Campbell Coyle Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Beside the Cross I’m tenting Refrain First Line: Tenting by the Cross, yes, I’m tenting by the Cross Lyrics: 1 Beside the Cross I’m tenting,
and I feel a presence there
That touches me with rapture
and heals all my pain and care;
The crimson stream flows over me,
it covers all my sin;
My soul is filled with glory
that my soul and Christ are kin.
Refrain:
Tenting by the Cross, yes, I’m tenting by the Cross;
I’ve traveled back to Calv’ry, and I’m tenting by the Cross.
2 No gold have I of goodness
stored eternal life to buy;
To purchase at such empty price
I’ve long since ceased to try;
My hope is built on better ground,
all human worth is dross;
I’ve traveled back to Calv’ry,
and I’m tenting by the Cross. [Refrain]
3 Beside the Cross I’m tenting,
and I’ll by the Cross abide,
And sheltered in my Savior’s love
for evermore shall hide;
No present storm can harm me there,
nor storm of time to come;
His presence will protect me,
and will bring me safely home. [Refrain]
4 On mountain top He’s with me,
He whose blessed name is Christ,
And I with Him, until He
calls me up to paradise;
The times may have their nostrums,
but I count them all but dross;
I’ve traveled back to Calv’ry,
and I’m tenting by the Cross. [Refrain]
