Author: H. Bonar Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #605 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Great King of kings, why dost Thou stay,
Why tarriest Thou upon Thy way,
Why lingers the expected day?
Thy kingdom come!
2 Life in its fullness is with Thee,
Life in its holy liberty;
From death and chains this world set free;
Thy kingdom come!
3 Earth is still waiting for the day,
When old things shall have passed away,
And all be clad in new array:
Thy kingdom come!
4 O King of glory, King of peace,
Bid all these storms and tumults cease,
Bring in Thy reign of righteousness;
Thy kingdom come! Topics: The Last Things Christ's Second Coming; The Last Things Christ's Second Coming; Second Coming of Christ Tune Title: [Great King of kings, why dost Thou stay]
