Author: Timothy Dwight Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 2008 #383 (2008) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Baptist Hymnal 2008 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 giv'n
Till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heav'nly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
5 Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be giv'n
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heav'n. Topics: Family of God, Fellowship of Believers Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS
I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord
