Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844
1. The kingdom is the Lord's,
He's Governor on earth,
We shall obey his word
Rejoicing in the truth,
For Jesus' glory shall shine forth,
And make us kings and priests on earth.
2. Behold the earth doth mourn,
For sin infests her plains,
Beneath her load she groans,
How long shall sinners reign;
Come, O thou glorious son of God,
And push thy victories far abroad.
3. Confusion o'er the face
Of all the land is spread,
By God's redeeming grace
From sin it shall be freed,
Then let thy glorious gospel shine
Through every land, in every clime.
4. See Israel far from home,
In foreign lands they roam,
Behold them weep and mourn,
O, when shall they return?
Hasten the time, O Lord, when they
As anciently shall blessed be.
5. The Lord will bring them home
Rejoicing in his love,
For Israel shall return,
No more from God to rove;
For they shall know his holy word,
And view the glory of their Lord.
