Thy kingdom come, O God

Author: Lewis Hensley, 1824-1905 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: Romans 14:18 Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God, thy rule, O Christ, begin; break with thine iron rod the tyrannies of sin. 2 Where is thy reign of peace and purity and love? When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time that war shall be no more, and lust, oppression, crime shall flee thy face before? 4 We pray thee, Lord, arise, and come in thy great might; revive our longing eyes, which languish for thy sight. 5 Men scorn thy sacred name, and wolves devour thy fold; by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 O'er lands both near and far thick darkness broodeth yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise, and never set!

Author: Dorothy Greenwell Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Romans 14:8 Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand what God hath willed, what God has planned; I only know at his right hand stands one who is my Savior! 2 I take him at his word and deed; “Christ died to save me,” this I read; and in my heart I find a need of him to be my Savior. 3 That he should leave his place on high and come for sinners here to die; you find it strange? So once did I, before I knew my Savior. 4 I hope that Christ my Lord may see fulfillment of his work in me; and with his child contented be as I with my dear Savior! 5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring my strength, my comfort from this spring: that he who lives to be my King once died to be my Savior.
