[ Featuring Randy Rothwell ]
I love Thy kingdom Lord
The house of Thine abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved,
With His own precious blood.
I love Thy Church, O God
Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.
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.
Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.
Words: Timothy Dwight
