Author: Joseph Cottle, 1770-1853 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #205 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 First Line: Mighty Lord, extend Thy kingdom Lyrics: 1 Mighty Lord, extend Thy kingdom,
Be the truth with triumph crowned;
Let the lands that sit in darkness
Hear the glorious gospel sound,
From our borders
To the world’s remotest bound.
2 By Thine arm, eternal Father,
Scatter far the shades of night;
Let the great Immanuel’s kingdom
Open like the morning light;
Let all barriers
Yield before Thy heavenly might.
3 Come, in all Thy Spirit’s power;
Come, Thy reign on earth restore;
In Thy strength ride forth and conquer,
Still advancing more and more,
Till all people
Shall Thy holy Name adore.
Amen. Topics: The Church Languages: English Tune Title: CORONAE
