Thy Kingdom come, O God

Author: Lewis Hensley, 1824-1905 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God, thy rule, O Christ, begin; break with thine iron rod the tyrannies of sin. 2 Where is thy reign of peace and purity and love? When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time that war shall be no more, and lust, oppression, crime shall flee thy face before? 4 We pray thee, Lord, arise, and come in thy great might; revive our longing eyes, which languish for thy sight. 5 Some scorn thy sacred name, and wolves devour thy fold; by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 O'er lands both near and far thick darkness broodeth yet: arise, O morning star, arise, and never set.

Ainger, 1841-1919 Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year, God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, wherever feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God, 'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.' 3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase the love of God in all mankind, the reign of the Prince of peace? What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea? 4 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world; fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 66 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 All glory to God in the sky, And peace upon earth be restored; O Jesus, exalted on high, Appear, our omnipotent Lord! Who, meanly in Bethlehem born, Didst stoop to redeem a lost race: Once more to thy creatures return, And reign in thy kingdom of grace. 2 Oh, wouldst thou again be made known,-- Again in thy Spirit descend; And set up, in each of thine own, A kingdom that never shall end! Thou only art able to bless, And make the glad nations obey, And bid the dire enmity cease, And bow the whole world to thy sway. 3 Oh, come to thy servants again, Who long thine appearing to know,-- Thy quiet and peaceable reign In mercy establish below: All sorrow before thee shall fly, And anger and hatred be o'er; And envy and malice shall die, And discord afflict us no more. 4 No horrid alarum of war Shall break our eternal repose; No sound of the trumpet is there Where Jesus' spirit o'erflows: Appeased by the charms of thy grace, We all shall in amity join; And kindly each other embrace, And love with a passion like thine.

Now, my tongue, the mystery telling

Author: St Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274; J. M. Neale ; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Lyrics: PART ONE - 1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling of the glorious body sing, and the blood, all price excelling, which the Gentiles' Lord and King, in a Virgin's womb once dwelling, shed for this world's ransoming. 2 Given for us, and condescending to be born for us below, he, with us in converse blending, dwelt the seed of truth to sow, till he closed with wondrous ending his most patient life of woe. 3 That last night, at supper lying, 'mid the Twelve, his chosen band, Jesus, with the law complying, keeps the feast its rites demand; then, more precious food supplying, gives himself with his own hand. 4 Word-made-flesh, true bread he maketh by his word his flesh to be, wine his blood; which whoso taketh must from carnal thoughts be free: faith alone, though sight forsaketh, shows true hearts the mystery. PART TWO - 5 Therefore we, before him bending, this great sacrament revere: types and shadows have their ending, for the newer rite is here; faith, our outward sense befriending, makes our inward vision clear. 6 Glory let us give and blessing to the Father and the Son, honour, might, and praise addressing, while eternal ages run; ever too his love confessing, who, from both, with both is One.
