Text: | I Love Your Kingdom, Lord |
Author: | Timothy Dwight |
Tune: | ST. THOMAS |
Composer: | Aaron Williams |
1 I love your kingdom, Lord,
the place of your abode,
the church our blessed Redeemer saved
with his own precious blood.
2 I love your church, O God!
Her walls before you stand,
dear as the apple of your eye,
and graven on your hand.
3 For her my tears shall fall,
for her my prayers ascend,
to her my cares and toils be give'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 your truth shall last,
to Zion shall be given
the brightest glories earth can yield,
and brighter bliss of heaven.
