  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,
    oppression, lust, and 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 heathen lands afar
    thick darkness broodeth yet:
    arise, O Morning Star,
    arise, and never set!
