|
<p>I love Thy kingdom, Lord,<br>
|
|
The house of Thine abode,<br>
|
|
The church our blessed Redeemer saved<br>
|
|
With His own precious blood.</p>
|
|
<p>I love Thy church, O God.<br>
|
|
Her walls before Thee stand,<br>
|
|
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,<br>
|
|
And written on Thy hand.</p>
|
|
<p>Should I with scoffers join<br>
|
|
Her altars to abuse?<br>
|
|
No! Better far my tongue were dumb,<br>
|
|
My hand its skill should lose.</p>
|
|
<p>For her my tears shall fall<br>
|
|
For her my prayers ascend,<br>
|
|
To her my cares and toils be given<br>
|
|
Till toils and cares shall end.</p>
|
|
<p>Beyond my highest joy<br>
|
|
I prize her heavenly ways,<br>
|
|
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,<br>
|
|
Her hymns of love and praise.</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, Thou Friend divine,<br>
|
|
Our Savior and our King,<br>
|
|
Thy hand from every snare and foe<br>
|
|
Shall great deliverance bring.</p>
|
|
<p>Sure as Thy truth shall last,<br>
|
|
To Zion shall be given<br>
|
|
The brightest glories earth can yield<br>
|
|
And brighter bliss of heaven.</p>
