Serve and work within the Body,

Serve and work within the Body,

This the Lord doth signify;

For His purpose is the Body,

And with it we must comply.

As the members we've been quickened

Not as individuals free;

We must always serve together,

All related mutually.

Living stones, we're built together

And a house for God must be

As the holy priesthood serving,

In a blessed harmony.

Thus we must be built together,

In position minister;

For the basis of our service

Is the body character.

In our ministry and service,

From the Body, our supply;

If detached and isolated,

Out of function we will die.

'Tis by serving in the Body

Riches of the Head we share;

'Tis by functioning as members

Christ's full measure we will bear.

To the Head fast holding ever,

That we may together grow,

From the Head supplies incoming

Thru us to the Body flow.

Lord, anew we give our bodies;

May we be transformed to prove

All Thy will, to know Thy Body,

And therein to serve and move.
