GRH 545 I Love Thy Church, O Lord

(1)
I love Thy church, O Lord,
Redeemed by Thine own blood;
The church is Thine.
With firm foundation sure
Forever shall endure
Unchanged by sin’s allure,
Thy church is mine!

(2)
Thy church forever lives,
Filled with the life Christ gives,
Steadfast and true.
Saints that are born again
God’s Spirit lives within,
God’s Temple to remain
God’s light shines through!

(3)
Thy holy church Thy pride,
Chaste and pure like a bride
Pleasing her Lord.
May error ne’er mislead
Cares of the world impede;
Our church is Thine indeed,
Light for the world!

(4)
Let our church daily grow,
In faith Thy Word to know,
Kept by Thee, Lord.
Each works with all his might
Shedding with joy the Light
To all the world how bright
Kingdom of God!
