Not Made With Hands 571
Tune: Arranged by Miss Avanelle Dyer, 1904
Lyrics: John S. Brown, 1900
Meter: Long Meter Half (8,8)
Christ went a building to prepare,
Not made with hands,
And 'twill be decked with jewels rare,
Not made with hands.
Chorus:
I know, I know
I have another building;
I know, I know
Not made with hands.
Put on the armour of our God,
Not made with hands,
And take the path our captain trod,
Not made with hands.
(Chorus)
With shield of faith defy the foe,
Not made with hands,
Until you hear the trumpet blow,
Not made with hands.
(Chorus)
That city's built with precious stone,
Not made with hands,
Within we'll gather round the throne,
Not made with hands.
(Chorus)
