Return, Rebuild, Restore

Tune: Hyrfrydol

(\'Alleluia, sing to Jesus\')

Haggai Chapters 1 & 2 parts

********

Come, rebuild my Temple again

But do too consider then

How your lives, your priorities

Each to their own self foresees

And does leave Temple in ruins

Here be their greed, and their sins

But in turning, put the Lord first

So shall He then meet your thirst

 

For the word \'tis, \'I am with you\'

Says the Lord, my presence true

Shall help, guide you, and empower

Give you strength for each fine hour

To rebuild my dwelling, Temple

That people there on me call

Glory of latter house be more

Greater than the house* before

(*i.e. the first Temple)

 

The Lord He will shake all nations

All the world\'s daughters and sons

Then the desire of all shall come

Salvation for everyone

Temple shall be filled with glory

When Christ, Son of God, we see

Worthy of all honour and praise

Joyful songs we shall Him raise

 

They obeyed, were stirred to action

Haggai, prophet, gave each one

Message from the Lord to restore

To encourage them for sure

And too Zerubbabbel, gov\'nor

The message he did assure

With Joshua then the high priest

All included, greatest, least
