Mighty Lord, Extend Thy Kingdom

lyricist: Joseph Cottle, 1828
Composer: William Monk, 1871

Mighty Lord

ex­tend Thy king­dom

Be the truth with tri­umph crowned;

Let the lands that sit in dark­ness

Hear the glo­ri­ous Gos­pel sound

From our bor­ders

To the world’s re­mot­est bound.

By Thine arm

eter­nal Fa­ther

Scatter far the shades of night;

Let the great Im­ma­nu­el’s king­dom

Open like the morn­ing light;

Let all bar­ri­ers

Yield be­fore Thy heav’n­ly might.

Come in all Thy Spir­it’s pow­er;

Come

Thy reign on earth re­store;

In Thy strength ride forth and con­quer

Still ad­vanc­ing more and more

Till all peo­ple

Shall Thy ho­ly name ad­ore.
