"Thy kingdom come," on bended knee
Author: Rev. Frederick L. Hosmer Hymnal: The Hymnal #363 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 "Thy kingdom come," on bended knee
The passing ages pray;
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that Kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
Not less to God belong;
And for the everlasting right
The silent stars are strong.
3 And lo! already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed;
When justice shall be clothed with might,
And every hurt be healed.
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad;
The day of perfect righteousness,
The promised day of God.
Amen. Tune Title: CHESTERFIELD

Come, Kingdom of our God
Author: Rev. John Johns Hymnal: The Hymnal #404 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Come, kingdom of our God,
Sweet reign of light and love,
Shed peace, and hope, and joy abroad,
And wisdom from above.

And make the broad earth thine;
Stretch o’er her lands and isles the rod
That flowers with grace divine.

With fruit from life’s glad tree;
And in its shade like brothers rest,
Sons of one family.

And raise thy glorious throne
In worlds by the undying trod,
Where God shall bless His own.

The Light of God is Falling
Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Hymnbook #482 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 The light of God is falling
Upon life's common way;
The Master's voice still calling,
"Come, walk with Me today";
No duty can seem lowly
To him who lives with Thee,
And all of life grows holy,
O Christ of Galilee!
2 Who shares his life's pure pleasures,
And walks the honest road,
Who trades with heaping measures,
And lifts his brother's load,
Who turns the wrong down bluntly,
And lends the right a hand,
He dwells in God's own country,
He tills the Holy Land.
3 Where human lives are thronging
In toil and pain and sin,
While cloistered hearts are longing
To bring the Kingdom in,
O Christ, the Elder Brother
Of proud and beaten men,
When they have found each other,
Thy Kingdom will come then!
4 Thy ransomed host in glory,
All souls that sin and pray,
Turn toward the cross that bore Thee;
"Behold the Man!" they say;
And while Thy Church is pleading
For all who would do good,
We hear Thy true voice leading
Our song of brotherhood.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 15:32 Tune Title: GREENLAND

And turn unto the Lord in fear;
All kindreds of the earth shall own
And worship Him as God alone.
2 For His the Kingdom, His of right,
He rules the nations by His might;
All earth to Him her homage brings,
The Lord of Lords, the King of Kings.
3 Both rich and poor, the bond and free,
Shall worship Him on bended knee,
And children's children shall proclaim
The glorious honor of His name.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 22:27-31 Tune Title: VISION

God is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Hymnal: The Hymnbook #500 (1955) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The Missions Lyrics: 1 God is working His purpose out
As year succeeds to year:
God is working His purpose out,
And the time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
Where'er man's foot hath trod,
By the mouth of many messengers
Goes forth the voice of God:
"Give ear to Me, ye continents,
Ye isles, give ear to Me,
That the earth may be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
With the banner of Christ unfurled,
That the light of the glorious gospel of truth
May shine throughout the world:
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
To set their captives free,
That the earth may be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is nothing worth
Unless God blesses the deed;
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
Till God gives life to the seed;
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Tune Title: PURPOSE

Son of God, eternal Saviour
Author: Somerset Corry Lowry Hymnal: The Hymnal #393 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Stewardship Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour,
Source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth incarnate
Hallows all our human race;
Thou our Head, who, throned in glory,
For Thine own dost ever plead,
Fill us with Thy love and pity,
Heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 As Thou, Lord, hast lived for others,
So may we for others live;
Freely have Thy gifts been granted,
Freely may Thy servants give.
Thine the gold and Thine the silver,
Thine the wealth of land and sea,
We but stewards of Thy bounty
Held in solemn trust for Thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
King of love and Prince of peace;
Hush the storm of strife and passion,
Bid its cruel discords cease.
Ah, the past is dark behind us,
Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood!
But before us gleams the vision
Of the coming brotherhood.
4 See the Christ-like host advancing,
High and lowly, great and small,
Linked in bonds of common service
For the common Lord of all.
Thou who prayedst, Thou who willest
That Thy people should be one,
Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition:
Here on earth Thy will be done.
Amen. Tune Title: IN BABILONE
Son of God, eternal Saviour

Author: Rev. William Pierson Merrill Hymnal: The Hymnal #401 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings.
2 Rise up, O men of God!
His Kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
3 Rise up, O men of God!
The Church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up, and make her great!
4 Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God!
Amen. Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
Rise up, O men of God!

Thunder Thy clarion, the lightning Thy sword;
Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
2 God the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken
Thy ways all-holy, and slighted Thy word;
Let not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
3 God the All-righteous One! man hath defied Thee;
Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
4 God the All-wise! by the fire of Thy chastening,
Earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
Through the thick darkness Thy Kingdom is hastening
Thou wilt give peace in Thy time, O Lord.
5 So shall Thy people, with thankful devotion,
Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean
Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord.
Amen. Tune Title: RUSSIAN HYMN
God, the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest
