I love Thy Kingdom, Lord!

I love Thy kingdom, 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 heav'nly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.
Sure as Thy trust shall last, To Zion shall be giv'n The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heav'n.

God's promises to the Christian, in the New Testament are attached to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and not to the individual. God teach us to love Your promises and to love Your Church. Help us, Lord to be what You want us to be as the Church in this generation. Thank You God for instituting the Church and the good Churches that contribute to the spiritual growth of believers. IN Jesus' Name. Amen
