SERVICE IN THE MOTHER CHURCH

Ruby Nilson

O house of God, built on a firm foundation,
Standing secure amid the storms of life,
Where all may come to learn of true salvation
And find release from discord, pain, and strife.

We hear the Word, in song and sermon spoken,
In silent prayer, we turn to God today;
Our humble hearts receive the blessed token
Of Truth that guides us in the upward way.

O Father, feed us with Thy bread from heaven,
The living water, may we drink of Thee,
And every lesson which Thy love hath given
Oh, may we learn it with humility.

We feel Thy peace, Thine arms of Love enfolding,
We lift our hearts in praise and gratitude,
And from this hour, a glimpse of heaven beholding,
Go forth at last, our joy and strength renewed.
