Hymn 27
Central’s never “Busy,” always on the line
F.M. Lehman
Verse 1
Central’s never “Busy,” always on the line,
You may hear from heaven, almost any time;
‘Tis a royal service, free for one and all,
When you get in trouble, give this royal line a call.
Chorus
Telephone to glory, O what joy divine!
I can feel the current moving on the line,
Built by God the Father, for His
loved and own,
We may talk to Jesus, thru this
royal telephone.
Verse 2
There will be no charges, telephone is free,
It was built for service, just for you and me;
There will be no waiting, on this royal line,
Telephone to glory, always answers just in time.
Fail to get the answer; Satan’s crossed your wire,
By some strong delusion, or some base desire;
Take away obstructions; God is on the throne,
And you’ll get an answer, thru this royal telephone.
Chorus
Telephone to glory, O what joy divine!
I can feel the current moving on the line,
Built by God the Father, for His
loved and own,
We may talk to Jesus, thru this
royal telephone.
Verse 3
If your line is “Grounded,” and connection true,
Has been lost with Jesus, tell you what to do;
Prayer and faith and promise, mend the broken
wire,
Till your soul is burning, with the pentecostal fire.
Chorus
Telephone to glory, O what joy divine!
I can feel the current moving on the line,
Built by God the Father, for His
loved and own,
We may talk to Jesus, thru this
royal telephone.
Verse 4
Carnal combinations, cannot get control,
Of this line to glory, anchored in the soul;
Storm and trial cannot, disconnect the line,
Held in constant keeping by the Father’s hand
divine.
Chorus
Telephone to glory, O what joy divine!
I can feel the current moving on the line,
Built by God the Father, for His
loved and own,
We may talk to Jesus, thru this
royal telephone.
