584. S. M. Johns.

The Kingdom of Love.

1 Come, kingdom of our God,

Sweet reign of light and love!

Shed peace, and hope, and joy abroad,

And wisdom from above.

2 Over our spirits first

Extend thy healing reign;

There raise and quench the sacred thirst,

That never pains again.

3 Come, kingdom of our God!

And make the broad earth thine;

Stretch o'er her lands and isles the rod

That flowers with grace divine.

4 Soon may all tribes be blest

With fruit from life's glad tree;

And in its shade like brothers rest,

Sons of one family.
