LBW #376, "Your Kingdom Come!"
Devotion
Jesus pronounced the Kingdom of God was at hand. It was underway, but not finished. We live in the time when the work of completing the Kingdom is continuing. Hymn LBW #376, "Your Kingdom Come!" expresses that thought.
Your kingdom come! O Father, hear our prayer;
Shine through the clouds that threaten everywhere;
Light from above, our only life and joy,
Show us the hope that nothing can destroy.
Stumbling and blind, we strive to do your will,
Trusting the word you surely will fulfill,
That all are yours, however far they roam,
That love shall triumph, and your kingdom come.
Come through the faith whereby the Church must live;
Come through the Word and Sacraments you give;
Your kingdom come; come too, God’s glorious Son!
Oh, may our task for you be nobly done!
