Verse 1
When the church of Jesus
Shuts its outer door
Lest the roar of traffic
Drown the voice of prayer
May our prayers Lord
Make us ten times more aware
That the world we banish
Is our Christian care
Verse 2
If our hearts are lifted
Where devotion soars
High above this hungry
Suffering world of ours
Lest our hymns should drug us
To forget its needs
Forge our Christian worship
Into Christian deeds
Verse 3
Lest the gifts we offer
Money talents time
Serve to salve our conscience
To our secret shame
Lord reprove
Inspire us by the way You give
Teach us dying Savior
How true Christians live
