God's Kingdom on the earth is now

942

	1.	God's Kingdom on the earth is now
		His sovereign government within;
		'Tis Christ Himself in us to live
		As Lord and King to rule and reign.
	2.	His life with His authority
		Enthrones Him now within our hearts
		To govern all our words and deeds
		And regulate our inward parts.
	3.	The Lord enthroned within our hearts
		His Kingdom doth establish there,
		Assuring His full right to reign
		And for God's purpose to prepare.
	4.	'Tis by His reign within our hearts
		That life to us He e'er supplies;
		When taking Him as Lord and King,
		His wealth our being satifies.
	5.	'Tis by His ruling from within
		His fulness vast is testified;
		'Tis when His inner kingdom rules
		His Body's blessed and edified.
	6.	'Tis by His heav'nly rule within
		As heav'nly citizens we live;
		'Tis by submission to His rule
		Expression of His reign we give.
	7.	Here in this heav'nly realm we live,
		And with this heav'nly pow'r
		possessed
		We walk and fight in heav'nly light
		Until the Kingdom's manifest.
