583- You That Know the Lord

Christian Life: Loving Service

1

  • You that know the Lord is gracious,
  • You for whom cornerstone
  • Stands, of God, elect and precious,
  • Laid that you may build thereon,
  • See that on that sure foundation
  • You a living temple raise.
  • Towers that may tell forth salvation
  • Walls that may re-echo praise.

2

  • Living stones by God appointed
  • Each to his alotted place,
  • Kings and priests, by God anointed,
  • Shall you not declare His grace?
  • You a royal generation
  • Tell the tidings of your birth,
  • Tidings of a new creation
  • To an old and weary earth.

3

  • Tell the praise of Him who called you
  • Out of darkness into light,
  • Broke the fetters that enthralled you,
  • Gave you freedom, peace, and sight:
  • Tell the tale of sins forgiven
  • Strength renewed and hope restored.
  • Till the earth, in tune with heaven,
  • Praise and magnify the Lord.
