How glorious is Thy church, Oh Lord

20

Verse 1

How glorious is Thy church, Oh Lord

No trace of sin in her.

What myst’ry this: God died as man,

For, oh, He loves her so!

chorus

Glorious, Glor’ous church,

She is Thy dear Bride;

She was built from Thine own side,

She is the same as Thee.

Verse 2

How precious is Thy Body, Lord;

How costly in Thy sight.

I’d ne’er bring anything of self,

For she is out from Thee.

Verse 3

How faithful is Thyself, dear Lord —

Eternally the same.

Though man may fail to reach Thy will,

Thou shalt obtain Thy Bride.

Verse 4

How subtle is my self, Oh Lord;

Yet I wilt be transformed.

Through Spirit’s work — become a stone

To build up Thine own Bride.

Verse 5

How precious is Thy Body, Lord;

How costly in my sight.

I would decrease, and Thee increase

At any cost for her.
