BY walls ana creeCS un oounded,
1t is built in you and me;
In every soul that seeks the light,
And turns away from sin.
Not Christ upon an altar.
But the Living Christ within.
The Cnurch Of Christ is all diverse,
And yet forever one.
1t comprehends all human sous.
v hen the work OF grace is done.
Our world lies crushed and bleeding
Meath the heel of war and wrong,
And naught can resurrect it
But the old-time angel song.
Translated into action.
The Church must forward go
But why thrust back one smaller group,
Eager to face the foe.
Brave little group, wherein stand.
God Judge US from above
Our only blot our banner
With the legend. God is love"
