Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- Thy kingdom come! O Father, hear our prayer;
- Shine through the clouds that darken everywhere;
- Thou only light, Thou only life and joy,
- Show us the hope that nothing can destroy.
- 2.
- Stumbling and blind, we strive to do Thy will,
- Trusting the word Thou surely wilt fulfill,
- That men are Thine, however far they roam,
- That love shall triumph, and Thy kingdom come.
- 3.
- Come, through the faith whereby the Church must live;
- Come, through the word of truth she has to give;
- Come, through her teaching, and her healing, too;
- Come, through the work united hearts can do.
- 4.
- Thy kingdom come, and come Thy glorious Son.
- O may our task for Him be nobly done!
- Faithful and true let all Thy servants be,
- Till they shall bring all nations home to Thee.
Lyrics: Margaret R. Seebach (1875-1948).
