134. Working on the Building

1 The word of God is holy,
And ev'ry sentence true;
'Tis settled up in heaven,
So let it be in you.

Refrain:
Working on the building,
Working on the building,
Working on the building,
On the building for my Lord.

2 The word of God is precious
As in the days of old;
Receive it as a treasure,
And to its teachings hold. [Refrain]

3 The word of God is righteous,
And 'twill our hearts renew,
And make us just like Jesus,
In all we say or do. [Refrain]

4 The church of God is building
By it, in Jesus' love;
By faith we all are working
With orders from above. [Refrain]

5 Christ is the sure foundation
On whom the faithful stand;
On Him we'll build this temple,
The Word, our sword in hand. [Refrain]
