Hymn of the week #10

  1. In the church of Jesus there is love for you,
    Love most pure and tender, love most deep and true;
    Why should you be lonely, why for friendship sigh,
    When the church of Jesus has a full supply?

  1. In the church of Jesus there is life for you,
    Warm as summer sunshine, sweet as morning dew;
    Why should you be fearful, why take anxious thought,
    Since the church of Jesus cares for those He bought?

  1. In the church of Jesus there is work for you;
    Such as even angels might rejoice to do;
    Why stand idly sighing for some life work grand,
    While the church of Jesus seeks your reaping hand?

  1. In the church of Jesus there's a place for you;
    Glorious, bright, and joyous, right and peaceful too;
    Why then like a wand'rer, roam with weary pace,
    If the church of Jesus holds for you a place.


I like this song because it reflects a fundamental truth, that Jesus has a place for all his saints and that they all have a function in His church.
