¶Lyrics / Text

Thy kingdom come! on bended knee the passing ages pray; and faithful souls have yearned to see on earth that kingdom’s day. But the slow watches of the night not less to God belong; and for the everlasting right the silent stars are strong. And lo, already on the hills the flags of dawn appear; gird up your loins, ye prophet souls, proclaim the day is near: the day in whose clear-shining light all wrong shall stand revealed, when justice shall be throned in might, and every hurt be healed; when knowledge, hand in hand with peace, shall walk the earth abroad: the day of perfect righteousness, the promised day of God.
