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 Sure as Thy truth shall last, to Zion shall be giv'n the brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter bliss of heav'n.
