Text: | The Church |
Tune: | ST. THOMAS |
1 I love thy king, 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 Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.
