The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#975

975. Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day

1 Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day
We lift our hands to God and pray;
But who has ever duly weighed
The meaning of the words he said?

2 Thy kingdom come. O day of joy,
When praise shall every tongue employ;
When hate and strife and war shall cease,
And man with man shall be at peace.

3 Jesus shall reign on Zion's hill,
And all the earth with glory fill;
His word shall Paradise restore,
And sin and death afflict no more.

4 God's holy will shall then be done
By all who live beneath the sun;
For saints shall then as angels be,
All changed to immortality.
