Of so divine a guest Unworthy though I be, Yet has my heart no rest Unless it come from Thee. 3. Unless it come from Thee, In vain I look around; In all that I can see No rest is to be found. 4. No rest is to be found But in Thy blessèd love; O let my wish be crowned And send it from above. Used With Tune: ST. CECILIA (Hayne) Text Sources: Miscellaneous Poems, 1773

Your kingdom come, O God!

Author: L. Hensley (1824-1905) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 133 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your kingdom come, O God! your rule, O Christ, begin; break with thine iron rod the tyrannies of sin, 2 Where is your reign of peace and purity and love? When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time, the end of strife and war; when lust, oppression, crime and greed shall be no more? 4 O Lord our God, arise and come in your great might! revive our longing eyes which languish for your sight. 5 As rebels scorn your name and wolves devour your fold, by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 On nations near or far thick darkness gathers yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise and never set!
