I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord

Author: Timothy Dwight Hymnal: RITL1985 #409 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:10 Lyrics: 1 I love thy kingdom, 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 Sure as thy truth shall last, to Zion shall be given the brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter bliss of heaven.

Let Saints on Earth in Concert Sing

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: RITL1985 #572 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Joshua 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing with those whose work is done, for all the servants of the King in earth and heav'n are one. 2 One family, we dwell in him, one church above, beneath, though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, to his command we bow; part of the host hast crossed the flood, and part is crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home there pass some spirits blest, while others to the margin come, waiting their call to rest. 5 Jesus, be thou our constant guide; then, when the word is giv'n, bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, and bring us safe to heav'n.

Far Off I See the Goal

Author: Robert R. Roberts Hymnal: RITL1985 #581 (1985) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Scripture: Joshua 4:9 Lyrics: 1 Far off I see the goal—-O Savior, guide me; I feel my strength is small-—be thou beside me; with vision ever clear, with love that conquers fear, Aad grace to persevere, O Lord, provide me. 2 Whene’er thy way seems strange, go thou before me, and, lest my heart should change, O Lord, watch o’er me; but, should my faith prove frail, and I through blindness fail, O let thy grace prevail, and still restore me. 3 Should earthly pleasures wane, and joy forsake me, and lonely hours of pain at length o’ertake me; my hand in thine hold fast till sorrow be o’erpast, and gentle death at last for heaven awake me. 4 There, with the ransomed throng who praise forever the love that made them strong to serve forever, I, too, would seek thy face, thy finished work retrace, and magnify thy grace, redeemed forever.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: RITL1985 #449 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious measure, Sung by flaming tongues above; O the vast, the boundless treasure of my Lord's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand'ring from the fold of God; he to rescue me from danger interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, bind my wand'ring heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; take my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.
