1 ’Mid all the temptations I daily may meet,
While here, a poor pilgrim, I roam,
I’ve this to console me, and oh, it is sweet—
The thought of the kingdom to come!

Refrain:
The kingdom to come, the kingdom to come,
Where I my dear Savior shall see!
The kingdom to come, the kingdom to come,
Oh, that is the kingdom for me!

2 How many have gone to that region so fair;
But still, I am told, there is room!
And, if I am faithful, my lot shall be there—
Shall be in that kingdom to come. [Refrain]

3 Oh, do not detain me with aught that is vain,
But let me press on to my home!
My spirit is longing a place to obtain,
Inside of the kingdom to come! [Refrain]

4 Oh, come and go with me to yonder abode,
Where flowers eternally bloom!
The home of the angels and children of God—
The glorious kingdom to come! [Refrain]
