| Text: | Thy Kingdom come, O Lord |
| Author: | Rev. Frederick L. Hosmer |
| Tune: | ST. CECILIA |
| Composer: | Rev. Leighton G. Hayne |
1 Thy Kingdom come, O Lord,
Wide-circling as the sun;
Fulfill of old Thy word
And make the nations one:
2 One in the bond of peace,
The service glad and free
Of truth and righteousness,
Of love and equity.
3 Speed, speed the longed-for time
Foretold by raptured seers—
The prophecy sublime,
The hope of all the years—
4 Till rise at last, to span
Its firm foundations broad,
The commonwealth of man,
The city of our God.
Amen.
