The Kingdom of Christ.
O Lord Thy kingdom doth expand,
King Jesus reigns from land to land;
He comes to make His mission known,
He comes to rule on Zion's throne.
King Jesus reigns from land to land;
He comes to make His mission known,
He comes to rule on Zion's throne.
He comes that He may sinners save,
He dies, He lies within the grave;
And from that tomb He doth arise,
Triumphantly into the skies.
He dies, He lies within the grave;
And from that tomb He doth arise,
Triumphantly into the skies.
21
And from the grave amid the dead,
Captivity He captive led;
O glorious Saviour, King of Kings!
Who to the earth salvation brings.
Captivity He captive led;
O glorious Saviour, King of Kings!
Who to the earth salvation brings.
O Lord, Thy kingdom shall withstand,
The mighty nations of the land,
Until earth's nations shall become
United—an eternal one.
The mighty nations of the land,
Until earth's nations shall become
United—an eternal one.
And then, O Grace, Thy King alone,
Shall reign supremely on Thy throne;
When princedoms shall before Him fall,
We'll crown Him Saviour, Lord of all.
Shall reign supremely on Thy throne;
When princedoms shall before Him fall,
We'll crown Him Saviour, Lord of all.
Islay Walden, April 23, 1877.
