1 The Church of God below,
Is like His church above,
Safe shielded from her every foe,
By heavenly power and love.
2 On high and holy ground,
Her deep foundations rest;
And God within her courts is found,
An omnipresent Guest.
3 God loves her sacred gates,
Her solemn praise and prayer;
And none that humbly on Him waits,
Shall find Him there.
4 The Church of God below,
Shall yet more honored be;
The nations to her side shall flow,
The world her glories see.
5 O bless'd and favored men,
That in her courts are born;
Their life but sets to rise again,
In heaven's eternal morn.
