Author: L. Muirhead Hymnal: Hymns #61 (1899) Lyrics: 1 The Church of God a kingdom is,
Where Christ in power doth reign;
Where spirits yeart till seen in bliss
Their Lord shall come again,
Their Lord shall come again.
2 Glad companies of saints possess
This Church below, above;
And God’s perpetual calm doth bless
Their paradise of love,
Their paradise of love.
3 An altar stands within the shrine,
Whereon, once sacrificed,
Is set, immaculate, divine,
The Lamb of God, the Christ,
The Lamb of God, the Christ.
4 There rich and poor, from countless lands,
Praise Christ is mystic rood;
There nations reach forth holy hands
To take God’s holy food,
To take God's holy food.
5 There pure life-giving streams o’erflow
The sower's garden-ground;
And faith and hope fair blossoms show,
And fruits of love abound,
And fruits of love abond.
6 O King, O Christ, this endless grace
To us and all men bring,
To see the vision of thy face
In joy, O Christ, our King,
In joy, O Christ, our King. Languages: English Tune Title: [The Church of God a kingdom is]
