H. Bonar
GREAT King of kings, why dost Thou stay?
Why tarriest Thou upon Thy way?
Why lingers the expected Day?
Thy kingdom come.
2
Life in its fulness is with Thee,
Life in its holy liberty;
From death and chains this world set free:
Thy kingdom come.
3
O King of glory, King of peace,
Bid all these storms and tumults cease,
Bring in Thy reign of righteousness:
Thy kingdom come.
4
Peace, gentle peace, is on its way,
And holy love this earth to sway;
Hasten, O Lord, that glorious day:
Thy kingdom come.
5
Oh, bid Thy blessed gospel go
Forth to each child of sin and woe,
That all Thy wondrous grace may know:
Thy kingdom come.
