The Kingdom of God.
1Come, kingdom of our God,
Sweet reign of light and love!
Shed peace, and hope, and joy abroad,
And wisdom from above.
2Over our spirits first
Extend thy healing reign;
There raise and quench the sacred thirst,
That never pains again.
3Come, kingdom of our God!
And make the broad earth thine,
Stretch o'er her lands and isles the rod
That flowers with grace divine.
4Soon may all tribes be blest
With fruit from life's glad tree;
And in its shade like brothers rest
Sons of one family.
5Come, kingdom of our God!
And raise thy glorious throne
In worlds by the undying trod,
Where God shall bless his own.
