Hymn 12.

IV.

COME, Kingdom of our God,

Sweet reign of life and love,

Shed peace, and hope, and joy abroad,
And wisdom from above.

Over our spirits first

Extend thy healing reign;

Then raise and quench the sacred thirst

That never pains again.

Come, Kingdom of our God,

And make the broad earth thine,
Stretch o'er her land and isles the rod
That flowers with grace divine.

Soon may all tribes be blest.
With fruit from Life's glad tree:
And in its shade like brothers rest
Sons of one family.

Came, Kingdom of our God,
And raise thy glorious throne
In worlds by the undying trod,
When God shall bless His own.

ST. PETER'S.

Deeply wailing,

Shall the true Messiah see.

Now Redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!

All His saints, by man neglected,
Now shall meet Him in the air:
Hallelujah!

See the day of God appear!

Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,

High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdom for Thine own:
O come quickly,
Everlasting God, come down!
