Numbers 24:18: Thy kingdom, Lord, we long to see

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Thy kingdom, Lord, we long to see:
Thy sceptre o'er the nations shake,
(To' erect that final monarchy)
Edom for Thy possession take,
Take, for Thou didst their ransom find,
The purchased souls of all mankind.
