O lord of life, Thy kingdom is at hand,

by Marion Franltlm Ham

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 198 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

O lord of life, Thy kingdom is at hand, Blest reign of love and liberty and light; Time long foretold by seers of every land; The cherished dream of watchers through the night.

Verse 2

Lo! in our hearts shines forth the morning star, Shedding its luster on our darkened way; And we behold, as pilgrims from afar, The holy dawning of Thy perfect day.

Verse 3

Now gleams at last upon our waiting eyes The glory of the kingdom that shall be; When truth in conquering grandeur shall arise, And Christ shall rule the world with equity.

Verse 4

Forward again we move at Thy command! The flaming pillar leading on anew; One in the faith of all Thy prophet band, Onward we press to make the vision true.
