GRH 515 The Kingdom Is Coming

(1)
From all the dark places
Of earth’s heathen races,
O see how the thick shadows fly!
The voice of salvation
Awakes ev’ry nation;
‘Come over and help us,’ they cry.
The kingdom is coming,
O tell ye the story,
God’s banner exalted shall be!
The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory,
As waters that cover the sea!

(2)
The sunlight is glancing
O’er armies advancing,
To conquer the kingdoms of sin;
Our Lord shall prossess them,
His presence shall bless them,
His beauty shall enter them in.
The kingdom is coming,
O tell ye the story,
God’s banner exalted shall be!
The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory,
As waters that cover the sea!

(3)
With shouting and singing,
And jubilant ringing,
Their arms of rebellion cast down
At last ev’ry nation
The Lord of salvation
Their King and Redeemer shall crown!
The kingdom is coming,
O tell ye the story,
God’s banner exalted shall be!
The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory,
As waters that cover the sea!
