613 Thy kingdom come, O God

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 Wherever near or far thick darkness broodeth yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise, and never set!
