Hymnal: Laudes Domini #615 (1884) First Line: "Lord, when thy kingdom comes, remember me" Lyrics: 1 "Lord, when thy kingdom comes, remember me;"
Thus spake the dying lips to dying ears;
Oh, faith, which in that darkest hour could see
The promised glory of the far-off years!
2 No kingly sign declares that glory now,
No ray of hope lights up that awful hour;
A thorny crown surrounds the bleeding brow,
The hands are stretched in weakness, not in power.
3 Yet hear the word the dying Saviour saith,
"Thou too shalt rest in Paradise to-day;"
Oh, words of love to answer words of faith!
Oh, words of hope for those who live to pray! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MAUR
