Hymn #193

Thy Kingdom Come

Lyrics

Verse 1

Thy kingdom come! on bended knee
The passing ages pray;
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that kingdom's day.

Verse 2

But the slow watches of the night
Not less to God belong;
And for the everlasting right
The silent stars are strong.

Verse 3

And lo, already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near.

Verse 4

The day in whose clear-shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed,
When justice shall be throned in might,
And every hurt be healed.

Verse 5

When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad;
The day of perfect righteousness,
The promised day of God.
