LyicsLET thy Kingdom, blessed Saviour,
Come and bid our jarring cease;
Come, O come, and reign forever-
Lord of life and Prince of Peace.
Visit now thy bleeding Zion,
Lo! thy people mourn and weep;
Day and night thy flock is crying,
Gracious Shepherd, feed thy sheep.
Some for Paul-some for Apollos-
Some for Cephas-few agree,
With thy holy word that calls us,
Or resolve to follow thee,
Lord, in us there is no merit,
At thy name our hearts do leap;
Guide us by thy holy Spirit,
Till in death our souls shall sleep.
Come, blest Lord, with courage arm us,
Persecution rages here;
Nought, we know, can ever harm us,
If our Shepherd be but near:
Glory, glory, be to Jesus!
At his name our hearts do leap;
He both comforts us, and saves us;
Gracious Shepherd, bless thy sheep.
Hail thou prince of our salvation!
Ever will we be thy flock;
Thou the church's sure foundations,
And the everlasting rock.
May we shun the paths of folly,
Scale the high, the arduous steep;
Look to thee and still be holy;
Gracious Shepherd, bless thy sheep.
