Author: D. O. Teasley Hymnal: TS1907 #58 (1907) First Line: The house of God, built by his hands Refrain First Line: O house of God, home of my soul Lyrics: 1 The house of God, built by his hands,
Triumphant thro’ the ages stands
Upon the rock forever fast,
Defying Satan’s fiery blast.
Refrain:
O house of God, home of my soul,
Blessed shelter while the ages roll;
Let me here forever hide,
Till safe beyond the surging tide.
2 Salvation forms its massive wall,
‘Twill stand while creeds and schisms fall;
And all within its portals bright
Are robed in heaven’s golden light. [Refrain]
3 The Lamb of God, himself the door,
Excludes all sin forevermore;
His life to build this house he gave,
And every soul he wills to save. [Refrain]
4 In heaven’s golden book of life,
Inscribed above all sin and strife,
There human hands can ne’er erase
The names of those redeemed by grace. [Refrain]
5 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Are one with all the ransomed host,
Who dwell in touch with heav’n above,
In Father’s house, where all is love. [Refrain]
6 O house of God, thou spotless place,
Where beams the light of heaven’s grace;
Within thy courts oh, let me stay,
Where all is bright eternal day. [Refrain] Topics: Church Languages: English Tune Title: [The house of God, built by his hands]
