24. Until His Kingdom Come

1 Until his kingdom come,—
The kingdom of our Lord,—
Until the earth shall own his name,
In ev’ry land adored:

Refrain:
We’ll work, and watch, and wait,
At noonday, night, and morn,
And never lay our armor by
Till Christ obtain his crown.

2 Until his kingdom come,
And all the desert wild
Rejoice and blossom as the rose,
With sinners reconciled: [Refrain]

3 Until his kingdom come,
And earth’s remotest bound,
O’er all the wide expanse shall hear
And know the joyful sound: [Refrain]

4 Until his kingdom come,
The universal reign
Of righteousness and peace on earth
The nations shall proclaim: [Refrain]
