EN 2801 O Lord of Life, Thy Kingdom Is at Hand

Matt.4.17

Versi Version 1

O Lord of life, Thy kingdom is at hand,

Blest reign of love and liberty and light;

Time long foretold by seers of every land;

The cherished dream of watchers through the night.

Lo! in our hearts shines forth the morning star,

Shedding its luster on our darkened way;

And we behold, as pilgrims from afar,

The holy dawning of Thy perfect day.

Now gleams at last upon our waiting eyes

The glory of the kingdom that shall be;

When truth in conqu’ring grandeur shall arise,

And man shall rule the world with equity.

Forward again we move at Thy coming!

The flaming pillar leading on anew;

One in the faith of all Thy prophet band,

Onward we press to make the vision true.
