Comes the kingdom of the Lord


Jacob 1:6 -- And we also had many revelations, and the spirit of much prophecy; wherefore, we knew of Christ and his kingdom, which should come.

Comes the kingdom of the Lord and all his rule obey;
the ignorant but honest hearts rejoice in that bright day.
Fulfilled the ancient covenants; veracity revealed.
No longer can the devil's pawns keep Gospel light concealed!

Fall upon your knees, O man, whoever you might be,
to drink the healing waters of the King from Galilee.
A kingdom peaceable and mild shall spread o'er all terrain;
no blood will spill, but only tears because there is no pain.

The Saints who humbly bow their heads and keep a prayer within
have known this kingdom long before it sweeps away all sin.
They welcome it as no surprise, but as their home assured;
where love and kindness are the only currents ever stirred.
