Lord, Thou art a potter skilled
And a glorious builder too,
Molding for Thy vessel great,
Building with Thy house in view.
I am both a man of clay
And a new-made living stone,
That Thy vessel I may be
And the temple Thou wouldst own.

With Thy life as purest gold,
Unto precious stones conformed.

Then become Thy loving Bride,
In one Body joined to Thee,
That Thy heart be satisfied.

Are not precious stones alone,
But together these to build
For Thy glory, for Thy home.
Thou, the all-inclusive Christ,
Dost a builded Church require,
That Thy glorious riches may
Radiate their light entire.

Not the person spiritual
In an individual way,
But the corporate life expressed
Will Thy heart’s desire display.
Members separate and detached
Ne’er express Thee perfectly,
But Thy Body tempered, built,
Ever shall Thy fullness be.

Fitly frame and join me now.
