The Kingdom Eternal


When I originally wrote this song, it was in my mind to be sung as an anthem; similar in feel to the hymn from which I borrowed a part – “O Worship The King all Glorious Thou Art.” (William Croft’s famous tune Lyon.)

You’ll no doubt recognize my variation.

However, the producer at the time had a much different take on the piece, and what you hear recorded here was his “vision” not mine. That said, I pray it can be an encouragement.

The lyrics are below.

  • The Kingdom Eternal shall never suffer loss

    ‘Tis builded on the firm foundation, Jesus and His Cross

    and though the hosts of Hell may rage its walls to overthrow

    Their siege shall suffer quick defeat repelled by its holy glow

    • The kingdom Eternal has Jesus for its King

    And none therein shall suffer want for Christ is everything

    Drinking daily at the fountain flowing from His throne

    Each saint shall know the sweet supply possessed as Jesus’ own.

    • The Kingdom Eternal is filled with righteous hosts

    Who sing the endless praise of Father, Son and Holy Ghost

    Though Heaven and Earth shall pass away with mighty fervent flame

    No sound shall ever breah its walls save praise to Jesus’ name.

    No sound shall ever preach its walls save praise to Jesus’ name.
