Hymnal 208 1 I love Thy Kingdom, Lord, the house of Thine abode, The Church our blest Redeemer saved with His own precious blood. pumvisible() ? '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 brightger bliss of heaven.
