What a Kingdom!

There’s a theme that is sweet to my me­mo­ry

There’s a joy that I can­not ex­press;

There’s a trea­sure that glad­dens my be­ing

’Tis the king­dom of God’s right­eous­ness.

’Tis a king­dom of peace;

It is reign­ing with­in

It shall ev­er in­crease in my soul;

We pos­sess it right here

When He saves from all sin

And ’twill last while the ag­es shall roll.

There’s a scene of its grand­ness be­fore me

Of its great­ness there can be no end;

It is joy

it is peace

it is glo­ry

In my heart

how these rich­es do blend!

I am lost in its splen­dor and beau­ty

To its ne’er fad­ing heights I would rise;

Till I see the King come to re­ceive me

And ex­plore it with Him in the skies.

What a plea­sure in life it is bring­ing!

What as­sur­ance and hope ev­er bright!

Oh

what rap­ture and bliss are await­ing

When our faith shall be lost in the sight!
