Such As Have Not Gold To Bring Thee. (Hymn)

"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house."

Such as have not gold to bring Thee,
    They bring thanks - Thy grateful sons;
Such as have no song to sing Thee,
    Live Thee praise - Thy silent ones.

Such as have their unknown dwelling,
    Secret from Thy children here,
Known of Thee, will Thee be telling
    How Thy ways with them are dear.

None the place ordained refuseth,
    They are one, and they are all
Living stones, the Builder chooseth
    For the courses of His wall.

Now Thy work by us fulfilling,
    Build us in Thy house divine;
Each one cries, "I, Lord, am willing,
    Whatsoever place be mine."

Some, of every eye beholden,
    Hewn to fitness for the height,
By Thy hand to beauty moulden,
    Show Thy workmanship in light.

Other, Thou dost bless with station
    Dark, and of the foot downtrod,
Sink them deep in the foundation -
    Buried, hid with Christ in God.
