Text: | We love your kingdom, Lord |
Author: | Timothy Dwight, 1752-1817 |
Tune: | HOLYROOD |
Composer: | James Watson, 1816-1880 |
1 We love your kingdom, Lord,
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.
4 O Jesus, Saviour, Guide,
our Sovereign and our Friend,
from every snare and foe, your hand
shall great deliverance send.
