"He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort" (1 Corinthians 14:3).
In every Christian congregation
The Word of God should edify,
Revive with earnest exhortation,
And comfort heavy hearts that sigh.
The Lord has given to His church
The gifts He knew that we would need:
Evangelists for souls who search
And pastors who will rightly lead.
He gave us teachers to expound
The treasures of God's precious Word,
He gave us preachers who abound
With power by His Spirit stirred.
Lord, thank You for Your gifts so full
Imparted to Your fellowship
To edify, exhort, console,
And thereby with Your grace equip.
