| Text: | Come, Kingdom of Our God |
| Author: | John Johns |
| Tune: | LISBON |
| Composer: | Daniel Read |
1 Come, kingdom of our God,
Sweet reign of light and love!
Shed peace and hope and joy abroad,
And wisdom from above.
2 O'er all our spirits first
Extend thy healing reign;
There raise and quench the sacred thirst,
That never pains again.
3 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.
4 Soon may all tribes be blest
With fruit from life’s glad tree;
And in its shade like brothers rest,
Sons of one family.
Amen.
