4478. God Of Heav'n Appear Below

1 God of Heav’n, appear below,
And let Thy kingdom come;
All these worldly powers o’erthrow,
And scatter, and consume!
Let the last on earth take place,
Never, never to decline;
Founded in perpetual grace,
The monarchy divine.

2 Lord, as taught by Thee, we pray
That sin and death may end;
In the great millennial day
With all Thy saints descend;
Now displayed with glorious power
Let that final empire rise,
Stand, when time shall be no more,
Eternal in the skies.
