The pillars of our church
aren't marble or steel,
aren't even the members—
but their prayers!
Prayers that reach
realms of rejoicing:
infinite Love's presence.
Prayers through which
best efforts expand
to better understanding of
man's relation to God.
Each member's prayers
vitally support the hopes,
the heights, of church.
