| 1 | God’s kingdom is God’s reigning, |
| | | His glory to maintain; |
| | It is His sovereign ruling, |
| | | His order to sustain. |
| | He exercises fully |
| | | His own authority |
| | Within His kingdom ever |
| | | And to eternity. |
| 2 | Upon the throne, the center |
| | | Of government divine, |
| | God reigns, and with His purpose |
| | | Brings everything in line. |
| | God’s headship and His lordship |
| | | He only can maintain |
| | As King within His kingdom, |
| | | O’er everything to reign. |
| 3 | By reigning in His kingdom |
| | | God worketh all His will, |
| | And under His dominion |
| | | His purpose doth fulfill. |
| | ’Tis only in God’s kingdom |
| | | His blessing we may know; |
| | ’Tis from His throne almighty |
| | | The stream of life doth flow. |
| 4 | Submitted to God’s ruling, |
| | | All virtue thus will win; |
| | Rebellion to His Headship |
| | | Is but the root of sin. |
| | The evil aim of Satan- |
| | | God’s throne to overthrow; |
| | Our aim and goal is ever |
| | | His rule to fully know. |
| 5 | Within God’s sovereign kingdom |
| | | His Christ is magnified; |
| | When Christ in life is reigning, |
| | | The Father’s glorified. |
| | When God is in dominion, |
| | | All things are truly blessed; |
| | When Christ for God is reigning. |
| | | God’s glory is expressed. |
| 6 | In fulness of the seasons |
| | | God’s Christ will head up all. |
| | Then all will own His reigning |
| | | And worship, great and small. |
| | Such reign in life and glory |
| | | The Church e’en now foretastes |
| | And to His rule submitting |
| | | Unto His kingdom hastes. |
