Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #352 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 'Thy kingdom come!' on bended knee
the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 the day to whose clear shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned in might,
and every hurt be healed;
5 when knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad:
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Topics: General Hymns Church/Fellowship/Mission Languages: English Tune Title: IRISH
