The Cyber Hymnal ‎#10153

10153. O Church Of Christ

1 O Church of Christ, our blest abode,
Celestial grace is thine;
Thou art the dwelling place of God,
The gate of joys divine.

Refrain:
Where’er for me the sun may set,
Wherever I may dwell,
My heart shall never more forget
Thy courts, Immanuel.

2 O Church of Christ, O Church of Christ,
I came to thee for rest,
And found it more than earthly peace,
To be Immanuel’s guest. [Refrain]

3 Whene’er I come to thee in joy,
Whene’er I come in tears,
Still at the gate called Beautiful,
My risen Lord appears. [Refrain]
