God’s kingdom is God’s reigning

God’s kingdom is God’s reigning

His glory to maintain;

It is His sovereign ruling

His order to sustain.

He exercises fully

His own authority

Within His kingdom ever

And to eternity.

Upon the throne

the center

Of government divine

God reigns

and with His purpose

Brings everything in line.

God’s headship and His lordship

He only can maintain

As King within His kingdom

O’er everything to reign.

By reigning in His kingdom

God worketh all His will

And under His dominion

His purpose doth fulfill.

’Tis only in God’s kingdom

His blessing we may know;

’Tis from His throne almighty

The stream of life doth flow.

Submitted to God’s ruling

All virtue thus will win;

Rebellion to His Headship

Is but the root of sin.

The evil aim of Satan—

God’s throne to overthrow;

Our aim and goal is ever

His rule to fully know.

Within God’s sovereign kingdom

His Christ is magnified;

When Christ in life is reigning

The Father’s glorified.

When God is in dominion

All things are truly blessed;

When Christ for God is reigning.

God’s glory is expressed.

In fulness of the seasons

God’s Christ will head up all.

Then all will own His reigning

And worship

great and small.

Such reign in life and glory

The Church e’en now foretastes

And to His rule submitting

Unto His kingdom hastes.
