Dear church I love thee; yes, I do,
And may I love thee more;
To thee may I be ever true,
Nor dare thy rules ignore.
‘Tis here I find the feast is made
Isaiah did foretell;
And here is where the servants said
The guests should come to dwell.
Thou art the pilgrim’s resting-place—
His peaceful, quiet home;
‘Tis here he humbly asks for grace
Before the Father’s throne.
Dear church, I love thee; yes, I do—
I’ll hold to thine embrace;
Here smiles and mercies ever new,
Beam through a Saviour’s face.
And here it is I feel secure,
Though storms may oft arise;
And if I hold to thee, I’m sure
To land beyond the skies.
