Text: | I Love Your Kingdom, Lord |
Author: | Timothy Dwight, 1752-1817 |
Tune: | ST. THOMAS |
Composer: | Aaron Williams, 1731-76 |
1 I love your kingdom, Lord,
The place of your abode;
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With his own precious blood.
2 I love your Church, O God!
Its walls before you stand,
Dear as the apple of your eye
And graven on your hand.
3 Beyond my highest joy
I prize its heav'nly ways,
Its sweet communion, solemn vows,
Its hymns of love and praise.
4 Sure as your truth shall last,
To Zion shall be giv'n
The brightest glories earth can yield
And brighter bliss of heav'n.
