Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day

1

Thy kingdom come. Thus day by dayWe lift our hands to God and pray;But who has ever duly weighedThe meaning of the words he said?

2

Thy kingdom come. O day of joy,When praise shall every tongue employ;When hate and strife and war shall cease,And man with man shall be at peace.

3

Jesus shall reign on Zion's hill,And all the earth with glory fill;His word shall Paradise restore,And sin and death afflict no more.

4

God's holy will shall then be doneBy all who live beneath the sun;For saints shall then as angels be,All changed to immortality.
