When Jesus Came Preaching the Kingdom of God
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #723 (2011) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God
With the love that has pow'r to persuade,
The sick were made whole, both in body and soul,
And even the demons obeyed.
But he needed a few he could trust to be true,
To share in his work from the start:
When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God,
God's gift to the humble of heart.
2 Since Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God,
What a change in our lives he has made!
How many have shared in the joy of their Lord,
In self-giving have loved and obeyed!
But let none of us doubt what religion's about,
Or by what it is shamed and betrayed:
Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with God,
Is the rule of life Jesus obeyed.
3 Still Jesus comes preaching the Kingdom of God
In a world that is sick and afraid;
His gospel has spread like the leaven in bread
By the love that has a pow'r to persuade.
So let none of us swerve from our mission to serve,
That has made us his Church from the start:
May Jesus, the Light of the World, send us out
In the strength of the humble of heart. Topics: Kingdom / Reign of God; Ordinary Time, Seventh Sunday B Languages: English Tune Title: SAMANTHRA

Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Person Name: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Author of "When Jesus Came Preaching the Kingdom of God" in Worship (3rd ed.) The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
