270. Thy Kingdom come, O Lord
Frederick L. Hosmer, 1840-1929
Another hymn on the petition, “Thy Kingdom come,” in the Lord’s Prayer, setting forth its coming in relation to the unity of nations. Compare Hosmer’s other hymn on the Kingdom ([268]) where the emphasis is on righteousness and justice. This is an appropriate hymn for use in gatherings concerned with Christian unity and world friendship.
