A church too may die or become a remnant.
Pews may empty. And even dutiful hearts
grow dubious, with good intentions spent.
Faith comes with daylight and in darkness departs.
A church too may die or become a remnant.
Gold, silver, bronze, iron: each age alloys
its predecessor. Know spirit is a seal
we may not break. Shut out the world's noise.
Keep this circle safe where we share our zeal.
A church too may die or become a remnant.
