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 Earth is still waiting for the day,
When old things shall have passed away,
And all be clad in new array:
Thy kingdom come!

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