Haggai 1
1 This is the time for building the temple of the Lord
That all the local churches may fully be restored.
'Tis not the time for our house while God's house lieth waste —
Be strong, be strong, God's dwelling place to build!
The Lord of hosts is with us, with His glory 'twill be filled!
Be strong, be strong, and work in one accord,
That all the nations may behold the temple of the Lord.
2 O hear, the Lord is speaking: Consider now your ways,
Ye sow and bring in little, for lacking is My praise.
Be strong, be strong, God's dwelling place to build!
The Lord of hosts is with us, with His glory 'twill be filled!
Be strong, be strong, and work in one accord,
That all the nations may behold the temple of the Lord.
3 Ye who are priests, ye remnant of Christians now obey —
The Lord Himself is with us, whatever men may say,
Be strong, be strong, God's dwelling place to build!
The Lord of hosts is with us, with His glory 'twill be filled!
Be strong, be strong, and work in one accord,
That all the nations may behold the temple of the Lord.
4 I'll fill this house with glory, the Lord of hosts has said,
And the desire of nations will be exhibited.
Be strong, be strong, God's dwelling place to build!
The Lord of hosts is with us, with His glory 'twill be filled!
Be strong, be strong, and work in one accord,
That all the nations may behold the temple of the Lord.
