To Jerusalem we've come (Hymn 1251)

Verse 1: To Jerusalem we've come, We are through with Babylon, We have gathered to be one, O glory be to God! Of the teachings we're bereft, All opinions we have left, Spirit from the soul is cleft, In the local churches now. Verse 2: That recovery may proceed Real priests are what we need— Those who live in Christ indeed, O glory be to God! Saturated with the Lord, They have Christ as their reward. These the building work afford In the local churches now. Verse 3: And the kingship we must see With divine authority— To this rule we'll all agree, O glory be to God! To the Spirit we'll submit For the church's benefit— This is His prerequisite In the local churches now. Verse 4: We the altar must obtain, Have our all upon it lain. The burnt-offering must be slain, O glory be to God! This we never should dispute, For the church be absolute, All that's otherwise uproot In the local churches now. Verse 5: The foundation now is laid— O what glory doth pervade! We are all with joy arrayed, O glory be to God! Let us raise a mighty shout— They will hear us far without, And the enemy we'll rout In the local churches now.
