Lyics

O FATHER, let thy kingdom come,

Thy kingdom, built on love and grace!

In every nation give it room,

In every heart afford it place:

The earth is thine--set up thy throne,

And claim the kingdoms as thine own.



Still nature's awful darkness reigns,

And sinners scorn thy holy fear;

Still Satan holds the heart in chains,

Where'er thy messengers appear:

Oh rise, great God, in love, and bless

All nations with thy righteousness.
