285. C. M. Milton.

The Kingdom of God on Earth.

1 The Lord will come, and not be slow;

His footsteps cannot err;

Before him righteousness shall go,

His royal harbinger.

2 The nations all whom thou hast made

Shall come, and all shall frame

To bow them low before thee, Lord,

And glorify thy name.

3 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,

Shall bud and blossom then,

And Justice, from her heavenly bower,

Look down on mortal men.

4 Thee will I praise, O Lord, my God,

Thee honor and adore

With my whole heart, and blaze abroad

Thy name for evermore.

5 For great thou art, and wonders great

By thy strong hand are done:

Thou, in thy everlasting seat,

Remainest God alone.
