Author: Timothy Dwight, 1752-1817 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #188a (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love thy Zion, 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 given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
5 Jesus, Thou Friend divine,
Our Saviour and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe,
Shall great deliverance bring.
6 Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.
Amen. Topics: The Church Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS
