Building for Eternity

Author: N. B. S. Hymnal: Christ in Song #33 (1908) First Line: We are building in sorrow or joy Refrain First Line: We are building, ev'ry day Lyrics: 1 We are building in sorrow or joy A temple the world may not see, Which time cannot mar nor destroy: We build for eternity. Chorus: We are building, ev'ry day, A temple the world may not see; Building, building ev'ry day, Building for eternity! 2 Ev'ry tho't that we've ever had, Its own little place has fill'd; Ev'ry deed we have done, good or bad, Is a stone in the temple we build. [Chorus] 3 Ev'ry word that so lightly falls, Giving some heart joy or pain, Will shine in our temple wall, Or ever its beauty stain. [Chorus] 4 Are you building for God alone? Are you building in faith and love, A temple the Father will own, In the city of light above?
