What shame that so long He entreated in vain,
For He is so precious to me.
3
I stand on the mountain of blessing at last,
No cloud in the heavens a shadow to cast;
His smile is upon me, the valley is past.
For He is so precious to me.
4
I praise Him because he appointed a place,
Where some day, through faith in His wonderful grace;
I know I shall see Him, shall look on His face,
For He is so precious to me.

295. THE LORD ESTABLISHED
JESUS FUNDO UNA /GLESIA
1 Tim 3.15 RESURGENCE/ Acts 2.47 COMMUNION
The Lord established His Church, its fame will flood the Earth,
There's many signs announcing, and all the world can see;
Its name is in the Bible, it is but only one,
Apostle Paul does teach us, this is the Church of God.
CHORUS
The Church of the Lord, may it always reign,
It is soon arriving all over the world,
Its banner will rise, and wave over all,
For the one who's guiding this Church, is Apostle of God.
2
The Church is marching onward, to the celestial place,
Guided by an Apostle, a Servant of the Lord;
Extol and shout your praises to Jesus Christ the Lord,
For His exceeding graces that cleansed us of sin.
3
He comes to take His One Church, the One Church of the Lord,
Up to His holy bosom, His heavenly home;
And His beloved bride He certainly will crown
For everything she's suffered, for His holy name.
