The kingdom is upon you |TUNE: WOLVERCOTE | William Harold Ferguson 1874-1950

Descant by Peter Yue 1. ‘The kingdom is upon you!’ The voice of Jesus cries, Fulfilling with its message The wisdom of the wise; It lightens with fresh insight The striving human mind, Creating new dimensions Of purpose for mankind. 2. ‘God’s kingdom is upon you!’ The message sounds today; It summons every pilgrim To take the questing way, With eyes intent on Jesus, Our leader and our friend, Who trod faith’s road before us, And trod it to the end. Stirred by the Spirit’s breath, We glory in its freedom. 3. The kingdom is upon us! Stirred by the Spirit’s breath, We glory in its freedom From emptiness and death; We celebrate its purpose, Its mission, and its goal, Alive with the conviction That Christ can make us whole.
