Author: Johns Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #584 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Come, kingdom of our God Lyrics:
Come, kingdom of our God,
Sweet reign of light and love!
Shed peace, and hope, and joy abroad,
And wisdom from above.
Over our spirits first
Extend thy healing reign;
There raise and quench the sacred thirst,
That never pains again.
Come, kingdom of our God!
And make the broad earth thine;
Stretch o’er her lands and isles the rod
That flowers with grace divine.
Soon may all tribes be blest
With fruit from life’s glad tree;
And in its shade like brothers rest,
Sons of one family.
