Thy Kingdom Come! O Father, Hear Our Prayer

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.

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.

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.

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.
