Lord, Thy kingdom bring triumphant,
Give this world Thy liberty,
May Thy Spirit’s strong compulsion
Rule our tides of energy:
Where the vessel cleaves the ocean
Or the pilot steers his plane,
Where the miner toils in darkness,
And the farmer sows the grain.
Consecrate Thy people’s labour
At the airfield, mill and port:
With the gladness of Thy presence
Bless our homes
and grace our sport.
Let Thy mercy and Thy wisdom
Rule our courts and parliament,
And to soldier, sage and scholar
May Thy light and truth be sent.
By the pioneer’s endeavour,
By the word of printed page,
By the martyr’s dying witness,
And Thy saints in every age:
By the living voice of preacher,
By the skill of surgeon’s hand,
By the far borne broadcast tidings
Speaking peace from land to land:
Lord, Thy kingdom
bring triumphant,
Visit us this living hour,
Let Thy toiling, sinning children
See Thy kingdom come in power.
