There's an ancient story people tell
Of a place so hallowed it shines like... well
It's best you hear the story from the start
The end has rivers trees and gold
We'll get there soon then we'll behold
The Lord we've vowed to love with all our hearts

The setting is a mountain top
In a land called Moriah on a large outcrop
A place where faithful people come to pray
To the God so filled with grace and love
That Christ came down from heav'n above
The Church's One Foundation here to stay

It's an altar for a sacrifice
It's the ground on which the temple lies
The place Christ broke the bread and shared the wine
It's the hillside where our savior dies
It's the town in which sweet Mary cries
"I've seen the Lord with my own eyes
Once dead now he's alive!" [He's alive!]

So, how'd God's presence come to bide
In every town and countryside
Where gath'ring in his name proclaims good news
This story of God come to dwell
In Christ our Lord Emmanuel
Will stir your longing hearts with ancient truths

It's an altar for a sacrifice
It's the ground on which the temple lies
The place Christ broke the bread and shared the wine
It's the hillside where our savior dies
It's the town in which sweet Mary cries
"I've seen the Lord with my own eyes
Once dead now he's alive!" [He's alive!]
