Author: Timothy Dwight Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #280b (1961) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 giv'n,
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 ev'ry 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.
Amen. Topics: The Church The Church of Christ; The Church Communion of Saints; The Church Kingdom of God; The Church Love for; The Church Love for; The Church Security of Scripture: Psalm 26:8 Languages: English Tune Title: SHIRLAND
