#81 (Tune 1), #609, #736, #1322

 

 1  God's Kingdom on the earth is now

    His sovereign government within;

    'Tis Christ Himself in us to live

    As Lord and King to rule and reign.

 

 2  His life with His authority

    Enthrones Him now within our hearts

    To govern all our words and deeds

    And regulate our inward parts.

 

 3  The Lord enthroned within our hearts

    His Kingdom doth establish there,

    Assuring His full right to reign

    And for God's purpose to prepare.

 

 4  'Tis by His reign within our hearts

    That life to us He e'er supplies;

    When taking Him as Lord and King,

    His wealth our being satisfies.

 

 5  'Tis by His ruling from within

    His fulness vast is testified;

    'Tis when His inner kingdom rules

    His Body's blessed and edified.

 

 6  'Tis by His heav'nly rule within

    As heav'nly citizens we live;

    'Tis by submission to His rule

    Expression of His reign we give.

 

 7  Here in this heav'nly realm we live,

    And with this heav'nly pow'r possessed

    We walk and fight in heav'nly light

    Until the Kingdom's manifest.
