Serve and work within the Body,

   This the Lord doth signify;

For His purpose is the Body,

   And with it we must comply.

 2 

As the members we've been quickened

   Not as individuals free;

We must always serve together,

   All related mutually.

 3 

Living stones, we're built together

   And a house for God must be,

As the holy priesthood serving,

   In a blessed harmony.

 4 

Thus we must be built together,

   In position minister;

For the basis of our service

   Is the body character.

 5 

In our ministry and service,

   From the Body, our supply;

If detached and isolated,

   Out of function we will die.

 6 

'Tis by serving in the Body

   Riches of the Head we share;

'Tis by functioning as members

   Christ's full measure we will bear.

 7 

To the Head fast holding ever,

   That we may together grow,

From the Head supplies incoming

   Thru us to the Body flow.

 8 

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.
