Father, let Thy kingdom come, Let it come with living power; Speak at length the final word, Usher in the triumph hour. |

As it came in days of old, In the deepest hearts of men, When Thy martyrs died for Thee, Let it come, O God, again. |

Tyrant thrones and idol shrines, Let them from their place be hurled; Enter on Thy better reign, Wear the crown of this poor world. |

Oh, what long, sad years have gone, Since Thy Church was taught this prayer; Oh, what eyes have watched and wept For the dawning everywhere. |

Break, triumphant day of God! Break at last our hearts to cheer; Throbbing souls and holy songs Wait to hail Thy dawning here. |
|
6
|
Empires, temples, scepters, thrones, May they all for God be won; And, in every human heart, Father, let Thy kingdom come. |

In our local church we were covering the end of James about prayer, so I called this song during our Lord's Table (Holy Communion). This brought in a lot of testimonies about prayer.

Learnt this in my secondary school days in 1968-70. It is a great prayer seeking to usher in the Kingdom of God. Father, let Thy kingdom come, Amen.
