Nordlund A church with a brotherly hand, A church with a Christ-like smile Is a church that wil l draw ftnd command All hearts on life's lonely mile. A church <>f believing pr ayer, A church that is Spirit-filled I s a chur~h where th e lost ·will care And rebellious flesh be stilled. A church witl1 a faith that is true, A church with it's heart aflame I s the church that God will endue To the glor y of his Name. ~-··········-~ ~~ (1()1) ~ '1,~J l{ ~l J~() l{ l\ ll~"IN'J'~~I~N (t<)<l JJ<lS tr1111s fc)r 1·e,·i,·al.
