Vigoroso. Luther. S. M. 335 I love Thy kingdom. I I LOVE thy kingdom, Lord, The Church our blest Redeemer saved 2 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: 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, 5 Sure as thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven. I GRACE! 'tis a charming sound, Heaven with the echo shall resound, 2 Grace first contrived a way To save rebeliious man; And all the steps that grace display, Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace taught my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God. 4 Grace all the work shall crown Through everlasting days; It lays in heaven the topmost stone, And well deserves our praise.

Safely through another week God has brought us on our way; Let us now a bless-ing seek, 2 While we pray for pardoning grace, Thro' the dear Redeemer's name, Show thy reconciled face, Take away our sin and shame; From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this day in thee. 3 Here we come thy name to praise; Let us feel thy presence near : May thy glory meet our eyes, While we in thy house appear: 4 May the gospel's joyful sound 341 Hasten, Lord, the Glorious Time.

Sun and moon and stars decay; Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away, To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Pants to view his glorious face, To rest in his embrace. 3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn; Yet a season, and you know And earth exchanged for heaven. 343 Time is Winging us Away.
