[Not by force of arms upheld]
My kingdom is not of this world.
—xviii. 36.
Not by force of arms upheld
The kingdom of Thy grace
Stands invisible, conceal'd
In the peculiar race;
Ruling over all it stands
A kingdom that can never move,
Stablish'd by Almighty hands
The Hierarchy of Love!
The kingdom of Thy grace
Stands invisible, conceal'd
In the peculiar race;
Ruling over all it stands
A kingdom that can never move,
Stablish'd by Almighty hands
The Hierarchy of Love!

Not with worldly pomp and power
Thou dost Thy sway maintain,
Righteousness and peace restore
And happiness to man:
All Thy joyful subjects own,
Thy Spirit in Thy kingdom given
Makes our hearts Thy humble throne,
And turns our earth to heaven.
Thou dost Thy sway maintain,
Righteousness and peace restore
And happiness to man:
All Thy joyful subjects own,
Thy Spirit in Thy kingdom given
Makes our hearts Thy humble throne,
And turns our earth to heaven.
