I Love Thy Kingdom Lord ILoveThyKingdomLord

Song based on the Bible verse:
Psalm 137:5-6
5 
If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget its skill!
6 
If I do not remember you,
Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

Song written by:
Original in English: Timothy Dwight

[one_half

1
I love Thy kingdom Lord
The house of Thine abode
The church our blessed 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 written 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

[/one_half

[one_half_last

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 brighter bliss of Heaven

1
I love Thy kingdom Lord
The house of Thine abode
The church our blessed 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 written on Thy hand

3
If e’er to bless Thy sons
My voice or hands deny
These hands let useful skills forsake
This voice in silence die

4
Should I with scoffers join
Her altars to abuse
No! Better far my tongue were dumb
My hand its skill should lose

5
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

6
Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways
Her sweet communion solemn vows
Her hymns of love and praise

7
Jesus Thou friend divine
Our Savior and our king
Thy hand from every snare and foe
Shall great deliverance bring

8
Sure as Thy truth shall last
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield
And brighter bliss of Heaven
