| | Ezra 1-3 |
| 1. | To Jerusalem we've come, |
| | We are through with Babylon, |
| | We have gathered to be one, |
| | O glory be to God! |
| | Of the teachings we're bereft, |
| | All opinions we have left, |
| | Spirit from the soul is cleft, |
| | In the local churches now. |
| | Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
| | We are all in one accord |
| | For the building of the Lord, |
| | Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
| | We are living in the local churches now! |
| 2. | That recovery may proceed |
| | Real priests are what we need- |
| | Those who live in Christ indeed, |
| | O glory be to God! |
| | Saturated with the Lord, |
| | They have Christ as their reward. |
| | These the building work afford |
| | In the local churches now. |
| 3. | And the kingship we must see |
| | With divine authority- |
| | To this rule we'll all agree, |
| | O glory be to God! |
| | To the Spirit we'll submit |
| | For the churches benefit- |
| | This is His prerequisite |
| | In the local churches now. |
| 4. | We the altar must obtain, |
| | Have our all upon it lain. |
| | The burnt-offering must be slain, |
| | O glory be to God! |
| | This we never should dispute, |
| | For the church be absolute, |
| | All that's otherwise uproot |
| | In the local churches now. |
| 5. | The foundation now is laid- |
| | O what glory doth pervade! |
| | We are all with joy arrayed, |
| | O glory be to God! |
| | Let us raise a might shout- |
| | They will hear us far without, |
| | And the enemy we'll rout |
| | In the local churches now. |
