| 1 | Holy priests are living stones |
| | For God’s building work today; |
| | If these stones would builded be |
| | All the priests must learn to pray. |
| Chorus |
| | | To the holiest often come, |
| | | In the spirit touch the throne, |
| | | Let the Lord flow thru in prayer, |
| | | Thus the building work is done. |
| 2 | All the saints must serve as priests, |
| | That the living stones they be; |
| | Each must priestly work perform, |
| | Then their functions we will see. |
| 3 | Tent and priests of olden times |
| | Always did together go; |
| | When the priests served in the tent, |
| | Into one the two did flow. |
| 4 | Now the building spiritual |
| | And the priesthood all are one; |
| | Now the building of the house |
| | By the priestly work is done. |
| 5 | In the priests the substance is |
| | Of the building work replete; |
| | When the priests their work discharge, |
| | Then God’s house will be complete. |
| 6 | Building God and man in one |
| | Is their work before the Lord; |
| | In this fellowship divine |
| | Saints are built in one accord. |
| 7 | When in prayer our spirits blend, |
| | Then together built are we, |
| | Then a priesthood we become, |
| | Off’ring sacrifice to Thee. |
| 8 | Grant us grace, O Lord, that we |
| | Treasure dear the priestly call; |
| | In the spirit serve and pray, |
| | That Thy church be built withal. |
