the place of your abode,
the church our blest Redeemer saved
with his own precious blood.
2 We love your church, O God.
whose saints before you stand,
dear as the apple of your eye,
and written on your hand.
3 For them our tears shall fall,
for them our prayers ascend;
for them our cares and toils be given,
till toils and cares shall end.

our Sovereign and our Friend,
from every snare and foe, your hand
shall great deliverance send. Topics: Commitment; Jesus Christ Redeemer and Savior; Jesus Christ Kingship / Reign; Jesus Christ Friend; Saints; The Church Used With Tune: HOLYROOD
