God of Heav’n, Appear Below

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1762
Composer: James Nares, 1742

God of Heav’n

ap­pear be­low

And let Thy king­dom come;

All these world­ly pow­ers o’er­throw

And scat­ter

and con­sume!

Let the last on earth take place

Never

nev­er to de­cline;

Founded in per­pe­tu­al grace

The mon­ar­chy di­vine.

Lord

as taught by Thee

we pray

That sin and death may end;

In the great mil­len­nial day

With all Thy saints des­cend;

Now dis­played with glo­ri­ous pow­er

Let that fi­nal em­pire rise

Stand

when time shall be no more

Eternal in the skies.
