Author: Rev. Frederick L. Hosmer Hymnal: The Hymnal #425 (1950) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy Kingdom come, O Lord,
Wide-circling as the sun;
Fulfill of old Thy word
And make the nations one:
2 One in the bond of peace,
The service glad and free
Of truth and righteousness,
Of love and equity.
3 Speed, speed the longed-for time
Foretold by raptured seers—
The prophecy sublime,
The hope of all the years—
4 Till rise at last, to span
Its firm foundations broad,
The commonwealth of man,
The city of our God.
Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth World Friendship and Peace; Friendship, World; International Peace; Kingdom, Christ's Prayer for; Peace, International Tune Title: ST. CECILIA
