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.
