Hymn 277 – THY Kingdom come O God | C&S English Hymnary

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 last, oppression, prime 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. Man scorn Thy sacred name, And wolves devour Thy fold, By many deeds of shame We learn that love grow cold. 6. O‘er heathen lands afar Thick darkness broodeth yet; Arise, O morning star, Arise, and never set! AMEN
