The Kingdom Is Coming

From all the dark plac­es of earth’s hea­then races

O see how the thick sha­dows fly!

The voice of sal­va­tion awakes ev­ery nation

Come ov­er and help us

they cry.

The king­dom is com­ing

O tell ye the sto­ry

God’s ban­ner ex­alt­ed shall be!

The earth shall be full of His know­ledge and glo­ry

As wa­ters that cov­er the sea.

The sun­light is glanc­ing o’er ar­mies ad­vanc­ing

To con­quer the king­doms of sin;

Our Lord shall pos­sess them

His pre­sence shall bless them

His beau­ty shall en­ter them in.

With shout­ing and sing­ing

and ju­bi­lant ring­ing

Their arms of re­bel­lion cast down;

At last ev­ery na­tion the Lord of sal­va­tion

Their king and Re­deem­er shall crown!
