The Kingdom of Christ

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #126a (1786) First Line: Great God, whose universal sway Lyrics: 1 Great God, whose universal sway The known and unknown worlds obey, Now give the kingdom to thy Son, Extend his power, exalt his throne. 2 Thy sceptre well becomes his hands, All heaven submits to his commands; His justice shall defend the poor, And pride and rage prevail no more. 3 With power he vindicates the just, And treads th' oppressor in the dust; His worship and his far shall last, Till hours and years, and time be past. 4 As rain on meadows newly mown, So shall he send his influence down; His grace on fainting souls distils, Like heavenly dew on thirsty hills. 5 The heathen lands that lie beneath The shades of overspreading death, Revive at his first dawning light, And deserts blossom at the sight. 6 The saints shall flourish in his days, Drest in the robes of joy and praise; Peace, like a river from his throne Shall flow to nations yet unknown.
