Author: L. Hensley Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #329 (1898) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God!
Thy rule, O Christ, begin!
Break with Thine iron rod
The tyrannies of sin!
2 Where is Thy reign of peace,
And purity, and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
As in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time
That war shall be no more,
Oppression, lust, and crime
Shall flee Thy face before?
4 We pray Thee, Lord, arise,
And come in Thy great might;
Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for Thy sight.
5 O'er heathen lands afar
Thick darkness broodeth yet:
Arise, O morning Star,
Arise, and never set.
Amen. Topics: General; Epiphany; Intercession for the Church; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CECILIA
Thy kingdom come, O God!
