Stands of God elect and precious
Laid that you may build thereon
See that on that sure foundation
You a living temple raise.
Towers that may tell forth salvation
Walls that may re-echo praise.

Living stones by God appointed
Each to his alotted place
Kings and priests by God anointed
Shall you not declare His grace?
You a royal generation
Tell the tidings of your birth
Tidings of a new creation
To an old and weary earth.

Tell the praise of Him who called you
Out of darkness into light
Broke the fetters that enthralled you
Gave you freedom peace and sight:
Tell the tale of sins forgiven
Strength renewed and hope restored.
Till the earth in tune with heaven
Praise and magnify the Lord.
