Your kingdom come, O God

Author: Lewis Hensley, 1824-1905 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: Social Concerns / Social Justice Lyrics: 1 Your kingdom come, O God! Your rule, O Christ, begin; break with your iron rod the tyrannies of sin. 2 Where is your reign of peace and purity and love? When shall all hatred cease as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time, the end of strife and war, when lust, oppression, crime and greed shall be no more? 4 O Lord our God, arise and come in your great might! Revive our longing eyes which languish for your sight. 5 Some scorn your sacred name, and wolves devour your fold; by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 On nations near or far thick darkness gathers yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise and never set! Scripture: Psalm 2:9 Used With Tune: ST. CECILIA

What can we render, Lord, to you, When you own all that's made? 2 But you have needy brothers here, Partakers of your grace, Whose names you will yourself confess Before the Father's face. 3 In their sad accents of distress Your pleading voice is heard; You may in them be clothed and fed And visited and cheered. 4 Then help us, Lord, your yoke to wear And gladly do your will, Each other's daily burdens share, The law of love fulfill. 5 Your face with rev'rence and with love We in the poor will view, And, while we minister to them, We do it as to you.
