Great God! thy kingdom come,

by William Gadsby·1814·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)

Based on Matt 6:10; Dan 2:44

1

Great God! thy kingdom come,
With reverence would we pray,
May the eternal Three-in-One
His sovereign sceptre sway.

2

May grace triumphant reign,
And Christ exalted be;
Sinners, deserving endless pain,
Thy great salvation see.

3

May mercy, truth, and peace,
Fill each believer's soul,
And the sweet kingdom of thy grace,
Their raging lusts control.

4

May love and harmony
Among thy saints abide,
Thy presence set each bosom free
From enmity and pride.

5

Go on, thou mighty God,
Thy wonders to make known,
Till every sinner bought with blood,
Shall trust in thee alone.

6

Thus let thy kingdom come,
And free salvation reign,
Till all thy saints arrive at home,
And never part again.
