What a faith to hold and share!
Those who hold it must not part
Church and Kingdom in their heart.
They, their worship ended, know:
In that world to which they go,
Though no bells invite to prayer,
Where Christ is, his Church is there.
2 Where Christ is, his Kingdom grows.
His the truth that overthrows
Ev'ry harsh and godless creed
Born of fear or hate or greed.
Some who never called him Lord
Speak his reconciling word:
His all love that overflows.
Where Christ is, his Kingdom grows.
3 Where Christ is, his Church is there.
What a faith to hold and share!
Those who hold it must not part
Church and Kingdom in their heart.
Taught by Christ, they count as his
All who share his sympathies:
Certain, when his work is done,
Church and Kingdom shall be one. Used With Tune: SALZBURG
Where Christ Is, His Church Is There
