Thy Kingdom come, O God
Author: Lewis Hensley, 1824-1905 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: Advent; Evangelism; Harvest Festival; Hope and Consolation; Year A Epiphany 3; Year A Sunday Next Before Lent; Year B All Saints; Year C Easter 5; Year C Proper 12 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,
and lust, oppression, 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 Some scorn thy sacred name,
and wolves devour thy fold;
by many deeds of shame
we learn that love grows cold.
6 O'er lands both near and far
thick darkness broodeth yet:
arise, O morning star,
arise, and never set. Scripture: Acts 20:29 Used With Tune: ST CECILIA

life is given through thy name.

all our sins on thee were laid;
by almighty love anointed,
thou hast full atonement made.
All thy people are forgiven
through the virtue of thy blood;
opened is the gate of heaven;
reconciled are we with God.
3 Jesus, hail! Enthroned in glory,
there for ever to abide;
all the heavenly host adore thee,
seated at thy Father's side.

till in glory we appear. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:7 Used With Tune: LUX EOI

these hallowed courts shall ring;
our voices we will raise
the Three in One to sing;
and thus proclaim
in joyful song,
both loud and long,
that glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do thou
for evermore draw nigh;
accept each faithful vow,
and mark each suppliant sigh;
in copious show'r
on all who pray
each holy day
thy blessings pour.
4 Here may we gain from heav'n
the grace which we implore;
and may that grace, once given,
be with us evermore,
until that day
when all the blest
to endless rest
are called away. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-6 Used With Tune: HAREWOOD Text Sources: Latin (pre 9th century)

rightly leads us,
life bestowing.

to him, the life who once was slain,
the friend whom none shall trust in vain,
whose grace for aye aboundeth;
sing then, ring then, tell the story
of his glory,
till his praises
flood with light earth's darkest mazes! Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET

Captains of the saintly band
Author: Jean de Santeul, 1630-1697; H. W. Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Proper 5 Year C Lyrics: 1 Captains of the saintly band,
lights who lighten every land,
princes who with Jesus dwell,
judges of his Israel;
2 On the nations sunk in night
ye have shed the Gospel light;
sin and error flee away,
truth reveals the promised day.
3 Not by warrior’s spear and sword,
not by art of human word,
preaching but the cross of shame,
rebel hearts for Christ ye tame.
4 Earth, that long in sin and pain
groaned in Satan’s deadly chain,
now to serve its God is free
in the law of liberty.
5 Distant lands with one acclaim
tell the honour of your name,
who, wherever man has trod,
teach the mysteries of God.
6 Glory to the Three in One
while eternal ages run,
who from deepest shades of night
called us to his glorious light. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:23 Used With Tune: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
