Let the church be the church
Let the church be the church
I cannot remember all the words but it is an old song. Let the church be the cchurch let the people rejoice.
Let the church be the church
The Church Triumphant
Chorus:
Let the Church be the Church, Let the People rejoice.
Oh, we've settled the question,
We've made our choice.
Let the anthems ring out, Songs of victory swell
For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
This ship's been thru battles before
Storms and tempests and rocks on the shore.
Tho' the hull may be battered,
Inside it's safe & dry
It will carry its cargo to the port in the sky.
Let the Church be the Church, Let the People rejoice.
Oh, we've settled the question,
We've made our choice.
Let the anthems ring out, Songs of victory swell
For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
Is alive, is alive, is alive.For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
Chorus:
Let the Church be the Church, Let the People rejoice.
Oh, we've settled the question,
We've made our choice.
Let the anthems ring out, Songs of victory swell
For the Church triumphant is alive and well.

Storms and tempests and rocks on the shore.
Tho' the hull may be battered,
Inside it's safe & dry
It will carry its cargo to the port in the sky.
Let the Church be the Church, Let the People rejoice.
Oh, we've settled the question,
We've made our choice.
Let the anthems ring out, Songs of victory swell
For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
Is alive, is alive, is alive.For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
Let the church be the church

There is a lot more to this song. On the album "He Touched Me', Gloria Gaither spoke several lines of lyrics. It is beautiful. To me it is the best version of this song.
Let the church be the church
PTL this is the first time I sit down and listen to this song,
I said I have to fine the words it's beautiful, just wonderful

Let the church be the church
Thank you fellow detective for pointing this out:
Gloria Gaither's inspirational discourse transcribed from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE5sz78r3kI
God has always had a people.
Many foolish conqueror has made the mistake
of thinking that because he'd driven the Church of Jesus Christ out of sight,
that he had stilled it's voice and snuffed out it's life
but God has always had a people
The powerful current of a river is not diminished
because it is forced to flow underground.
The purest water is the stream that bursts crystal clear into the sunlight
after it has forced its way through solid rock.
There are charlatans, who like Simon the magician
sought to barter on the open market this power which cannot be bought or sold
but God has always had a people;
men who could not be bought and women who were beyond purchase
God has always had a people.
There have been times of affluence and prosperity
where the Church's message has been nearly diluted into oblivion
by those who sought to make it socially attractive re-organized and financially profitable.
It's been gold plated, draped in purple and encrusted in jewels.
It's been misrepresented, ridiculed, lauded and scorned.
These followers of Jesus Christ have been according to the whim of the times
elevated as sacred leaders and martyred as heretics.
Yet through it all there marches on this powerful army
God's chosen people who can not be bought, flattered, murdered or stilled
On through the ages they march. This church, God's church Alive and well

Wait, what was the words Gloria they said, "Lonely missionary, sow the seed with confidence.!'
Where do I find those words? I was a missionary in Africa and heard them singing that song and it ministered to me in a great way.
