With one accord believers prayed
and longed to see God's power displayed.
Announced by tongues and wind and flame,
the church was born! The Spirit came!
Chorus:
We're one in Christ, bought with His blood--
The holy church, called out to God.
The power that made our Savior rise
has likewise formed the church of Christ!
With holy boldness Christians preached
in spite of threats from kings and priests.
So armed with God's unchanging Word,
we'll preach the Truth till all have heard. Chorus
From every tribe and tongue and race
God formed one church to show His grace.
So through our love the world will see
that Christ alone brings unity. Chorus
Till Christ returns the church shall stand,
unshaken by the schemes of man.
Hell arms itself to no avail;
the church of Jesus shall prevail! Chorus
