413. I Love Thy Kingdom

1 I love Thy kingdom, Lord,
I love Thy kingdom, Lord,
I love Thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With His own precious blood.
I love Thy Church, O God,
Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand,
And graven on Thy hand;
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.

2 For her my tears shall fall,
For her my tears shall fall,
For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend,
To her my cares and toils be giv'n,
To her my cares and toils be giv'n,
Till toils and cares shall end.
Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be giv'n,
The brightest glories earth can yield
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heav'n,
And brighter bliss of heav'n;
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heav'n.
