Text:	Great King of kings, why dost Thou stay?
Author:	Rev. Dr. H. Bonar

1 Great King of kings, why dost Thou stay?
Why tarriest Thou upon Thy way?
Why lingers the expected day?
Thy kingdom come!

2 Life in its fullness is with Thee,
Life in its holy liberty;
From death and chains this world set free;
Thy kingdom come!

3 O King of glory, King of peace,
Bid all these storms and tumults cease,
Bring in Thy reign of righteousness;
Thy kingdom come!

4 Peace, gentle peace, is on its way,
And holy love this earth to sway;
Hasten, O Lord, that glorious day;
Thy kingdom come!

5 Oh, bid Thy blessèd Gospel go
Forth to each child of sin and woe,
That all Thy wondrous grace may know:
Thy kingdom come!
