Lord, the trials and tribulations on this old earth are hard to bear,
Thank Thee, that one day soon Thou will bring us to Thy Kingdom there,
Though the hills and valleys are green and alive with beauty of Thy theme,
Let us of the soon coming of Thy Kingdom, be in everyone’s dream.

We love the beauty of the flowers, the miracle of an unfolding rose,
Of the majestic opening of the petals of flowers everyone knows,
That it was of Thy making, which was only a tiny part of Thine art,
And a bigger one is of Thy Kingdom coming, in to all Thy peoples heart.

Lord we know that the fashioning of each and everything being, is by Thy hand,
Wondrous art Thy works oh Lord, in each and every land,
The rivers running swiftly, the pines standing graceful and tall,
The Church bells ringing on the Sabbath, when the people come to call.

The sparkling of the stars and the moonbeams, that seem close enough to touch,
The hills and forests that have about them an awesome wonder we love so much,
Let all things be of Thy Kingdom, that’s here on earth each and every day,
And help us love and trust Thee oh Lord, in every Prayerful way.

Let Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in all our lives, let us know,
That nothing escapes Thine eyes, and that with each of us you will surely go,
Though it be a thousand years, or should it be as tomorrow when we awake,
Let Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done as to Heaven, our souls you take.
