296. I Love Your Kingdom, Lord

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

2 I love your Church, O God!
Its walls before you stand,
Dear as the apple of your eye
And graven on your hand.

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

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