Father, let Thy kingdom come (Hymn 795)

Verse 1: Father, let Thy kingdom come, Let it come with living power; Speak at length the final word, Usher in the triumph hour. Verse 2: As it came in days of old, In the deepest hearts of men, When Thy martyrs died for Thee, Let it come, O God, again. Verse 3: Tyrant thrones and idol shrines, Let them from their place be hurled; Enter on Thy better reign, Wear the crown of this poor world. Verse 4: Oh, what long, sad years have gone, Since Thy Church was taught this prayer; Oh, what eyes have watched and wept For the dawning everywhere. Verse 5: Break, triumphant day of God! Break at last our hearts to cheer; Throbbing souls and holy songs Wait to hail Thy dawning here. Verse 6: Empires, temples, scepters, thrones, May they all for God be won; And, in every human heart, Father, let Thy kingdom come.
