lyrics

Mighty Lord, Extend Your Kingdom
Text: Joseph Cottle, 1828
Music: Gregory Wilbur, 2008

Mighty Lord, extend Your kingdom
Be the truth with triumph crowned
Let the lands that sit in darkness
Hear the glorious Gospel sound
From our borders, from our borders
To the world’s remotest bound

By Your arm, eternal Father,
Scatter far the shades of night
Let the great Immanuel’s kingdom
Open like the morning light
Let all barriers, let all barriers
Yield before Your heavenly might

Come in all Your Spirit’s power
Come, your reign on earth restore
In Your strength ride forth and conquer,
Still advancing more and more
Till all people, Till all people
Shall Your holy Name adore
