Refrain: The kingdom to come, the kingdom to come, Where I my dear Savior shall see! The kingdom to come, the kingdom to come, Oh, that is the kingdom for me! 2 How many have gone to that region so fair; But still, I am told, there is room! And, if I am faithful, my lot shall be there— Shall be in that kingdom to come. [Refrain] 3 Oh, do not detain me with aught that is vain, But let me press on to my home! My spirit is longing a place to obtain, Inside of the kingdom to come! [Refrain] 4 Oh, come and go with me to yonder abode, Where flowers eternally bloom! The home of the angels and children of God— The glorious kingdom to come! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [’Mid all the temptations I daily may meet]
