Hymn 942  

SUBJECT: THE KINGDOM—ITS INNER REIGN
METER: 8.8.8.8.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Ralph Harrison

1God’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.
2His life with His authority
 Enthrones Him now within our hearts
 To govern all our words and deeds
 And regulate our inward parts.
3The 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.
7Here 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.
