 1 

In the church the sound of life upon our ear is falling,

Then we see the joy of Christ expressed on every hand;

Babylon and things of earth in vain to us are calling.

We are home forever in Christ our land.

 

We're churching in the Spirit

On the church's local ground;

We're churching with our brothers,

Our family we have found.

Oh, yes, we're churching with the churches, and we'll make the earth resound

With hallelujahs for Christ our land!

 
 2 

Far away our background seems with all its gifts and teaching,

Farther still, the worldly things with all their foul demand;

As the love of Jesus Christ our inmost heart is reaching,

Not a thing can move us from Christ our land.

 

We're churching in the Spirit

On the church's local ground;

We're churching with our brothers,

Our family we have found.

Oh, yes, we're churching with the churches, and we'll make the earth resound

With hallelujahs for Christ our land!

 
 3 

"I will build My church upon this rock," said the Lord Jesus,

And we see the building of His purpose and His plan;

Setting members in the Body as Himself it pleases,

Building us together in Christ our land.

 

We're churching in the Spirit

On the church's local ground;

We're churching with our brothers,

Our family we have found.

Oh, yes, we're churching with the churches, and we'll make the earth resound

With hallelujahs for Christ our land!

 
 4 

Now the Lord's recovery is everywhere proceeding,

All the churches join in one to give the Lord command:

"Speed the day when all the earth will echo with pray-reading

And with hallelujahs for Christ our land."

 

We're churching in the Spirit

On the church's local ground;

We're churching with our brothers,

Our family we have found.

Oh, yes, we're churching with the churches, and we'll make the earth resound

With hallelujahs for Christ our land!
