THE KINGDOM

By Eliza H. Morton

The trace of sin, the mark of woe, Is seen o’er all the land; The moan of pain, the cry for help, Is heard on every hand.
An Eye doth mark the acts of men, And soon a change there’ll be; Another kingdom will arise, Another King men see.
All earthly kingdoms rise and fall, All earthly things decay; All earthly monarchs turn to dust, And quickly pass away.
The last and greatest of all kings Will be a King divine; Beneath his sway the earth shall bloom, And glory ever shine.
The blind shall see, the deaf shall hear, The tongue of dumb shall sing; The lame man leap e’en like a hart, And “Heaven’s high arches ring.”
The ground, all parched, a pool shall be, And springs of water rise; The way of holiness will then Be plain before all eyes.
The ransomed of the Lord shall come, With songs to Zion fair, And joy and gladness dwell below, And peace be everywhere.
“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done;” O Lord and Master, King, That day to many weary hearts Deliverance will bring,
ELIZA H. MORTON.
