I LOVE THY KINGDOM, LORD
1. I love Thy
Kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine
abode,
The Church our
blest Redeemer saved
With His own
precious blood.
2. I love Thy
Church, O God!
Her walls before
Thee stand,
Dear as the apple
of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy
hand.
3. For her my tears
shall fall,
For her my prayers
ascend;
To her my cares and
toils be given
Till toils and
cares shall end.
4. Beyond my
highest joy
I prize her
heav'nly ways,
Her sweet
communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love
and praise.
5. Jesus, Thou
Friend divine,
Our Saviour and our
King,
Thy hand from every
snare and foe
Shall great
deliv'rance bring.
6. Sure as Thy
truth shall last,
To Zion shall be
giv'n
The brightest
glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss
of heav'n.
