Tune: Herongate
(\'It is thing most wonderful\')
Haggai 1 v.13-15 [Old Testament]
***********
Haggai, prophet of the LORD
Spoke to people uplifting word
He spoke as the LORD\'s messenger
Encouraged them their hearts to stir
His message was, \'I am with you
Says the LORD\', it a saying true
Will not forsake, help you rebuild
My Temple, shall be glory-filled
Then Zerubbabel, governor
Of Judah, he did reassure
With Joshua too, the high priest
Inspired people, from great to least
They came to house of God repair
For it had lain in ruins there
After return from exile they
Progressed, got the work under way
It be house of the LORD God there
With them His dwelling He did share
Focal point of the worship, they
Courageous rebuilt in their day
