mf 1 THY kingdom come, O God;
Thy rule, O Christ, begin;
Break with thine iron rod
The tyrannies of sin.

mp2 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 lust, oppression, crime,
Shall flee thy face before?

ВАСА.

m 4 We pray thee, Lord, arise,

And come in thy great might; Revive our longing eyes,

Which languish for thy sight. mp5 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; mf Arise, O Morning Star, Arise, and never set.

m 1 I GAVE my life for thee;
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might'st ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead.
I gave my life for thee;

mp What hast thou given for me?

2 I spent long years for thee
In weariness and woe,

That an eternity

Of joy thou mightest know. I spent long years for thee; p Hast thou spent one for me? mp3 My Father's home of light, My rainbow-circled throne, I left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone. I left it all for thee; Hast thou left aught for me?

p

pp

To rescue thee from hell.

I suffered much for thee; What canst thou bear for me? m 5 And I have brought to thee, Down from my home above, Salvation full and free,

My pardon and my love. Great gifts I brought to thee; mp What hast thou brought to me? m 6 0 let thy life be given,

Thy years for me be spent, World-fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent. mf I gave myself for thee; Give thou thyself to me!

From Hymns Anc. and Mod. By permission.

mf The powers of darkness fear, When this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praised!'

f 5 To God, the Word, on high, The host of angels cry,

"May Jesus Christ be praised!" Let mortals, too, uprais Their voice in hymns of praise;

'May Jesus Christ be praised!* f 6 Let earth's wide circle round In joyful notes resound,

'May Jesus Christ be praised Let air and sea and sky, From depth to height, reply, 'May Jesus Christ be praised!'

mf 7 Be this, while life is mine,

My canticle divine,

'May Jesus Christ be praised!' f Be this the eternal song Through all the ages on,

'May Jesus Christ be praised!
