Poem Words (five verses)
1.
"Thy kingdom come!" on bended knee
the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.
the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.
2.
But the slow watches of the night
not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3.
And lo, already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4.
the day to whose clear shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned in might,
and every hurt be healed;
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned in might,
and every hurt be healed;
5.
when knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad;
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God.
shall walk the earth abroad;
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God.
