|  |  | Ezra 1-3 | 
|  | 1. | To Jerusalem we've come, | 
|  |  | We are through with Babylon, | 
|  |  | We have gathered to be one, | 
|  |  | O glory be to God! | 
|  |  | Of the teachings we're bereft, | 
|  |  | All opinions we have left, | 
|  |  | Spirit from the soul is cleft, | 
|  |  | In the local churches now. | 
|  |  | Hallelujah! Hallelujah! | 
|  |  | We are all in one accord | 
|  |  | For the building of the Lord, | 
|  |  | Hallelujah! Hallelujah! | 
|  |  | We are living in the local churches now! | 
|  | 2. | That recovery may proceed | 
|  |  | Real priests are what we need- | 
|  |  | Those who live in Christ indeed, | 
|  |  | O glory be to God! | 
|  |  | Saturated with the Lord, | 
|  |  | They have Christ as their reward. | 
|  |  | These the building work afford | 
|  |  | In the local churches now. | 
|  | 3. | And the kingship we must see | 
|  |  | With divine authority- | 
|  |  | To this rule we'll all agree, | 
|  |  | O glory be to God! | 
|  |  | To the Spirit we'll submit | 
|  |  | For the churches benefit- | 
|  |  | This is His prerequisite | 
|  |  | In the local churches now. | 
|  | 4. | We the altar must obtain, | 
|  |  | Have our all upon it lain. | 
|  |  | The burnt-offering must be slain, | 
|  |  | O glory be to God! | 
|  |  | This we never should dispute, | 
|  |  | For the church be absolute, | 
|  |  | All that's otherwise uproot | 
|  |  | In the local churches now. | 
|  | 5. | The foundation now is laid- | 
|  |  | O what glory doth pervade! | 
|  |  | We are all with joy arrayed, | 
|  |  | O glory be to God! | 
|  |  | Let us raise a might shout- | 
|  |  | They will hear us far without, | 
|  |  | And the enemy we'll rout | 
|  |  | In the local churches now. |
