ANTHEM: Thy Kingdom Come by Karen Marrolli; Julie Metz, violin
When Christ reigns in our souls, and we strive to make all people whole, then, O Lord, thy will is done. O Lord, thy kingdom come! When Christ reigns in our hearts, and all worldly selfishness departs, then, O Lord, thy will is done. O Lord, thy kingdom come! For the rulers of this earth do not seek the Savior’s worth. Turn our spirits, one by one! O Lord, thy kingdom come! When Christ reigns in our minds, and we choose to love and to be kind, then, O Lord, thy will is done. O Lord, thy kingdom come! For the call is high and clear; Christian, turn your soul to hear! Now a new song has begun. O Lord, thy kingdom come! Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; ‘naught be all else to me, save that thou art; thou my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light! For the rulers of this earth do not seek the Savior’s worth. Turn our spirits, one by one! O Lord, thy kingdom come. When Christ reigns in our world, and we are his flag of love unfurled, then, O Lord, thy will is done. O Lord, thy kingdom come! For the call is high and clear; Christian, turn your soul to hear! Now a new song has begun. O Lord, thy kingdom come! When Christ reigns in our minds, and we choose to love and to be kind, then, O Lord, thy will is done. O Lord, thy kingdom come! [Portions adapted from the Irish poem “Be Thou My Vision” translated by Mary E. Byrne]
