| 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. |
