"Thy kingdom come," O God!
Sin blacker grows, and deeper woes
Enwrap this world with blight;
The great deceiver of our race,
Who left his high and trusted place,
Is setting still a faster pace
Toward hell's interminable night.
O God, "Thy kingdom come!"

"Thy kingdom come," O God!
Thy Church is here in Satan's sphere,
Distracted, rent and torn;
The devil and the world unite
To cast o'er her a darker blight-
To darken every ray of light
Ere breaks the golden morn.
O God, "Thy kingdom come!"

"Thy kingdom come," O God!
The Jews dispersed for Canaan thirst,
They groan in exiled woe,
None but Thyself can bring them in;
Dry up their tears, forgive their sin,
And cause them to afresh begin
Thy glory forth to show.
O God, "Thy kingdom come!"

"Thy kingdom come," O God!
Earth waits release, it has no peace,
It reeks with all that's wrong.
Break in upon the guilty scene,
Purge out the filth and make it clean,
Let righteousness on earth be seen,
Fill heaven and earth with song.
O God, ''Thy kingdom come!"

"Thy kingdom come," O God!
The devil hies through earth and skies
Inflamed with wrath and hate;
On wickedness supreme he's bent,
He'll keep creation in ferment
Till to the fiery pit he's sent-
Thy power must seal his fate.
O God, "Thy kingdom come!"
