Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#359

359. I Love The Lord, My Savior True

1 I love the Lord, my Savior true,
Who set me free from sin;
I love to hear His Word anew
That keeps me pure within,
I love to hear His Word anew
That keeps me pure within.

2 I love the church, that holy place,
Where grace and truth abide,
Where saints of God His Word embrace
And from the world may hide,
Where saints of God His Word embrace
And from the world may hide.

3 I love the font where I was born
A child of God on high,
Where I was call'd in life's bright morn
To be my Savior nigh,
Where I was call'd in life's bright morn
To be my Savior nigh.

4 I love the altar of the Lord,
Where pray'rs are said for me;
I love the pulpit whence the word
Of life flows pure and free,
I love the pulpit whence the word
Of life flows pure and free.

5 I love the people who with me
Will serve my Savior blest
And who with gladness hear His plea:
"Come unto me and rest."

6 Oh, may my heart be true to Him
And gladly Him embrace
That sin and shame may never dim
In me His light and grace.
