I love Thy Church, O God!
Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven 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.

4

Beyond my highest joy

I prize her heavenly ways,

Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

5

Jesus, Thou Friend Divine,

Our Saviour and our King,

Thy hand from every snare and foe,
Shall great deliverance bring.

6

Sure as Thy truth shall last,

To Zion shall be given

The brightest glories earth can yield
And brighter bliss of heaven. Amen.

Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken

Austria 8787 8787.

FRANZ Joseph Haydn

1. Glorious things of thee are spok-en, Zion, city of our God;

4

He, Whose word can-not be brok-en, Formed thee for His own

a - bode:

On the Rock of Α

ges founded, What can shake thy sure

re- pose?

With sal-va-tion's walls surrounded, Thou mayst smile at all thy foes. A-men.

2

See, the streams of living waters, Springing from Eternal Love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint, while such a river

Ever flows their thirst to assuage: Grace, which, like the Lord the Giver, Never fails from age to age?

3

Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear,
For a glory and a covering:

Showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night, and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna,

Which He gives them when they pray.

Saviour, if of Zion's city

I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy name:
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,

All his boasted pomp and show:

Solid joys and lasting treasure

Nope but Zion's children know. Amen. JOHN NEWTON
