Hymn 136
Thy kingdom come, O God!
Krist’, ki ‘jọba Rẹ de
- Thy kingdom come, O God!
Thy rule, O Christ begin!
Break with thine iron rod
the tyrannies of sin! - Where is thy reign of peace,
and purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
as in the realms above? - When comes the promised time
that war shall be no more,
oppression, lust, and crime
shall flee thy face before? - We pray thee, Lord, arise,
and come in thy great might;
revive our longing eyes,
which languish for thy sight. - Men scorn thy sacred Name,
and wolves devour thy fold;
by many deeds of shame
we learn that love grows cold. - O'er heathen lands afar
thick darkness broodeth yet:
arise, O Morning Star,
arise, and never set!
