The Heavenly Kingdom

Author: Laura E. Newell Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 25:34 First Line: The beautiful heavenly kingdom Refrain First Line: The beautiful heavenly kingdom Lyrics: 1 The beautiful heavenly kingdom Where Christ is the light of the day, We fain would behold when he calls us To walk in the bright shining way. For Jesus is waiting to bless us, He calls us in accents of love, And there in the beautiful kingdom, We’d praise him forever above. Refrain: The beautiful heavenly kingdom, That glorious kingdom of heav’n, ’Tis there we would dwell with our Savior, With all our transgressions forgiven. 2 He knows when we love him and serve him, And guards us and guides us each day, And notes when we sadly deny him, And grieves when our hearts go astray. He follows us where we may wander, And bids us come home to the fold, Nor stray amid sin and temptation, On mountains, so dreary and cold. [Refrain] 3 The beautiful heavenly kingdom, That country, so near yet so far, Where we shall behold in his beauty, Our Savior, heaven’s radiant star. Return and rejoice, ye who wander, Oh! come to his shelter and rest, Till safe in the heavenly kingdom, To joy in the realms of the blest. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [The beautiful heavenly kingdom]

O make us open to your truth, your love and service teach us! 4 May all the darkness we have made and sins that have controlled us fade in the glory of your light, and your strong love enfold us. Bring us to new Jerusalem, your Bride from heaven descending, the City of the Father's peace and joy that has no ending.
