Thy Kingdom Come

by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836–1879

From Chords for Children

Religion

God of heaven ! hear our singing ;
Only little ones are we,
Yet a great petition bringing,
Father, now we come to Thee.

Let Thy kingdom come, we pray Thee,
Let the world in Thee find rest ;
Let all know Thee, and obey Thee,
Loving, praising, blessing, blessed !

Let the sweet and joyful story
Of the Saviour's wondrous love,
Wake on earth a song of glory,
Like the angel's song above.

Father, send the glorious hour,
Every heart be Thine alone !
For the kingdom, and the power,
And the glory are Thine own.
