For man we work, for man we oil,
For man we till the sterile soil,
And does not God deserve our praise
For spring time showrs AMI summer days?
How better can we spread His fame
Than building temples in His name?
SO the stubborn soil we break to5ay,
A foundation for His house TO lay.
ANA here within this beautcous vale,
This lovely village OF Comfortable,
Wen gladly tell the "old, old story"
OF Him who led the way TO glory.
No house adorn'd d with shining gold
We luild a. in the days OF old,
But q simple structure bsilt OF wood,
Quite small 10 size little rude.
But He who leads the angel bands
Dwslls not in temples made with hands;
So if to Him orr gift we bring,
He'll not despise the Offering.
Hero often in this village fair
We've tolI His lovo in open air,
But now our services must hold
In places ,helter'd from the cold.
| Since FIRST began our worship here
Some have learned the Lord to fear,
! And TO Him the r hearts have giv'n
| Who guides His followers safe to heav, n
| Soin the future days to come
! Wen strive 10 lead the ertin1 home,
| And trust wen neer regret the day
| Tint we were lei TO como this way.
