Thy Kingdom Come, O God
Verse 1
Thy Kingdom come, O God, Thy rule, O Christ, begin; Break with Thine iron rod The tyrannies of sin.
Verse 2
Where is Thy reign of peace, And purity, and love? When shall all hatred cease, As in the realms above?
Verse 3
When comes the promised time That war shall be no more Oppression, lust, and crime, Shall flee Thy face before?
Verse 4
We pray Thee, Lord, arise, And come in Thy great might; Revive our longing eyes, Which languish for Thy sight.
Verse 5
Men scorn Thy sacred Name, And wolves devour Thy fold; By many deeds of shame We learn that love grows cold.
Verse 6
Oer heathen lands afar Thick darkness broodeth yet: Arise, O Morning Star, Arise, and never set!
