Author: N. B. S. Hymnal: Christ in Song #33 (1908) First Line: We are building in sorrow or joy Refrain First Line: We are building, ev'ry day Lyrics: 1 We are building in sorrow or joy
A temple the world may not see,
Which time cannot mar nor destroy:
We build for eternity.
Chorus:
We are building, ev'ry day,
A temple the world may not see;
Building, building ev'ry day,
Building for eternity!
2 Ev'ry tho't that we've ever had,
Its own little place has fill'd;
Ev'ry deed we have done, good or bad,
Is a stone in the temple we build. [Chorus]
3 Ev'ry word that so lightly falls,
Giving some heart joy or pain,
Will shine in our temple wall,
Or ever its beauty stain. [Chorus]
4 Are you building for God alone?
Are you building in faith and love,
A temple the Father will own,
In the city of light above? [Chorus] Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance; Living His Life Christian Character; Special Selections Solos Languages: English Tune Title: [We are building in sorrow or joy]
