"THY KINGDOM COME"

Ruby Nilson

"Thy kingdom come."
How often we say the words
And scarcely believe they are heard,
As we pray
For the dawn of that perfect day
In our faltering way.

How little we know,
How little we understand,
As we reach for the Father's hand
Amid trouble and fear;
His kingdom is come, even now
It is near, it is here.
