1 I love your kingdom, Lord,
The place of your abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With his own precious blood.

2 Beyond my highest joy
I prize its heav'nly ways,
Its sweet communion, solemn vows,
Its hymns of love and praise.

3 I love your Church, O God,
Your saints in ev'ry land,
Dear as the apple of your eye
And graven on your hand.

4 For them my tears shall fall;
For them my prayers ascend;
For them my cares and toils be giv'n
Till toils and cares shall end.

5 Sure as your truth shall last,
To Zion shall be giv'n
The brightest glories earth can yield
And brighter bliss of heav'n.
