Methodist-Hymns-708
1: WE love Thy Kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine abode
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With His own precious blood.
2: We love Thy Church, 0 God :
Her saints before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.
3: For her our tears shall fall,
For her our prayers ascend,
To her our cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
4: Beyond our highest joy
We prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows.
Her hymns of love and praise.
5: Jesus, Thou Friend divine,
Our Saviour, and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe
Shall great deliverance bring.
6: Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.
