Your kingdom come, O Father God
1 Your kingdom come, O Father God,
your will be done today.
Lord, help us strive to realise
this goal for which we pray.
Keep us aware in all we do -
your kingdom is at hand.
Your kingdom come, your will be done
in this and every land.
2 Your kingdom come where sick are healed
and captives find release,
where truth is spoken lovingly
and conflict turns to peace,
where those once blind now see the light
and those once deaf can hear.
Your kingdom come, your will be done
for liberty is near.
3 Your kingdom come! Lord, you must reign
and rule within our hearts.
Make pure our motives, guide our thoughts
that we may play our parts.
Lead us to do new works of love,
inspire the words we say.
Your kingdom come, your will be done
throughout our lives each day.
4 Your kingdom come to work like yeast
and grow like mustard seed.
Such is the treasure you provide,
exceeding all we need.
So let us pray, and use each day
the talents you have given -
your kingdom come, your will be done
on earth now as in heaven.
