Great God! thy kingdom come,
by William Gadsby·1814·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)
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.
