| 1 We are building ev’ry day, At our work and at our play; Not with hammer, blow on blow, Not the timber sawing so; Building a house not made with hands, Following Father’s perfect plans; Little builders all are we, Building for eternity. 2 We are building ev’ry day, Actions are the stones we lay; Jesus our Foundation sure, Built on Him we are secure. Many a house has fallen low, Built on the sands of sin and woe; We will heed His word alone, he’s the only Cornerstone. 3 We are building ev’ry day; If we do not watch and pray, Best of tools are all in vain, Golden Rule, and line, and plane. Measure by love each stone and brick, Mixing the silver mortal quick; Careful builders we must be, All the world our house can see. 4 We are building ev’ry day; Not with lime, and sand, and hay, Not with wood, and nails, and screws; Something better far we use,— Tho’ts like the marble, pure and white, Smiles like the diamond, clear and bright; These the jewel stones we lay, Safe when sin is burned away. | Light and Life Songs: adapted especially to sunday schools, prayer meetings and other social services #147 (1904) |
