Kingdom Kindlings

Fits tune: Ach Gott Und Herr (= O God and Lord)

(\'Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands\')

Based on a Formal Prayer

********

Goodness\' fountain, God Almighty

Look on our nation, do see

Kings, Queens, Governments, our plea

[That] They lowly, penitent be

 

This our prayer that they may order

According to your will sure

All things in righteousness and peace

Enhance your kingdom, uncease (unceasingly)

 

And too in wisdom, equity

That your fair judgement we see

All to the honour of your name

Lord, who remains e\'er the same

 

For the good too of your church here

Your saving mercies appear

And for people of every race

Comfort them by your true grace

 

Lord our petitions now do hear

We ask all with godly fear

And in the name of Christ your Son

Who saves, He the only one
