Church's Champion

"Lord, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thine honor dwelleth.... in the congregations will I bless the Lord" (Psalm 26:8,12). "The house of God... is the church of the living God, and the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15).

Lord, I love the habitation
Wherein Your honor rightly is,
Where Christ receives the adoration
From those He knows are truly His.

Christ, our Champion of love,
The Center of each congregation,
Is our Cause for hope above,
Our pillar's Strength, and our Foundation.

The house of God, the ground of truth,
The church where Christ is in the midst,
Is still a haven for our youth,
Wherein His Word and love exist.

In Your church, Lord, we will bless
Your wondrous name with one accord;
We bow the knee and here confess
The name of Jesus Christ our Lord!
