I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord

Author: Timothy Dwight Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,323 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 26:8 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 Savior 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.

Psalm 26

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 26 First Line: Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways Lyrics: Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways, And try my reins, and try my heart My faith upon thy promise stays, Nor from thy law my feet depart. I hate to walk, I hate to sit, With men of vanity and lies The scoffer and the hypocrite Are the abhorrence of mine eyes. Amongst thy saints will I appear With frauds well washed in innocence; But when I stand before thy bar, The blood of Christ is my defence. I love thy habitation, Lord, The temple where thine honors dwell; There shall I hear thine holy word, And there thy works of wonder tell. Let not my soul be joined at last With men of treachery and blood, Since I my days on earth have passed Among the saints, and near my God.

For I have ever trod The Paths that righteous are and just; I shall not be disgraced, Since I have always placed, In thee alone my Hope and Trust 2 Search, prove each inward Part; Examine thou my Heart Which lies uncover'd to thy View: From Sin I have refrained, My Righteousness retained, And will the Ways of Truth pursue. 3 For still I keep thy Grace, O LORD, before my Face, And in thy Mercy take Delight; Thy Truth is my Direction, To bring me to Perfection, And keep me in the Path that's right. 4 The Idle or Profane, Could ne'er my Friendship gain; For in their Deeds I take not Part: Nor could the sly Deceiver, With all his Treach'ry, ever Win to his Ways my faithful Heart. 5 I hat the busy Crew, Who Mischief still pursue, And ever make distracted Times; Their Ways I ne'er approved, Their Converse never loved, But shun them as I shun their Crimes. Part II 6 My Hands in Innocence, I'll wash from all Offence; Make thou, Oh GOD, my Heart so pure, That to thy Altar going, No Spot or Blemish shewing, My Welcome may be found secure. 7 My Thanks I'll publish there, And to the World declare, Thy vast Renown and mighty Fame; My Heart with Rapture glowing, My Tongue for ever shwoing, The Honours due to thy great Name. 8 Thy Sanctuaries, LORD, To my Delight afford, My Soul in Peace reposing there; 'Tis there thou most excelleth; 'Tis ther thine Honour dwelleth; And thither I with Joy repari. 9 Let not the Sinners Doom, On me, thy Servant, come; Nor leave my Soul to be confin'd, With those, who Blood enjoying, The Harmless are destroying; To Blood and Murder still inclin'd. 10 Urg'd by a wicked spite, They seize another's Right, And make Oppression thus their Trade; They secret Bribes are taking, Their Oaths in private breaking, Or else by open Force invade. 11 But my Delight shall be, To walk in Falshood free; The Paths of Truth I will pursue: Then by thy Grace direct me, In virtuous Ways protect me; Thy former Mercies, LORD, renew! 12 My Foes assail in vain, I still my Ground maintain; Tho' arm'd with Rage they stand around: Among the Congregation Of Saints, I'll fix my Station, Thy Praises ever to resound.

To thee, O sov'reign father, I appeal

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 26 Lyrics: 1 To thee, O sov'reign father, I appeal; To thee the secrets of my soul reveal, My faithful soul, that, firm in innocence, Makes thee her surest hope, her strong defence, 2 O try thy servant, scrutinize his heart; Prove him, and judge according to desert, 3 With grateful eyes thy mercies all I view, With careful steps the road to truth pursue; 4 The fraudful tongue, that ruins with a lie, The idly vain, that love not thee, I fly; 5 The converse of ungodly men I hate, Nor 'mid the wicked e'er will fix my feat. 6 With hands unstain'd I'll at thy altar bow, There pay the adoration that I owe; 7 In thankful hymns I'll there employ my voice, And in the wonders of my God rejoice: 8 I love the temple, where thy name's ador'd; Much do I love thy hallow'd dome, O Lord. 9 Then suffer not my soul, to shades below, With bloody, with deceitful men, to go; 10 With men, whose hands in mischiefs are involv'd, Whose hearts for gain the blackest crimes resolv'd. 11 No; my sincerity be still my guard, With thy redemption my firm soul reward; 12 Firm that me Hands, I owe, my God, to thee: Thy name be prais'd thro' all eternity.
