Lord, Accept into Thy Kingdom

Lyrics

1. 1. Lord, accept into thy kingdom

   Each repentant, humbled one,

   Born of water and the Spirit

   In thy name, Beloved Son.

   Let the Holy Ghost, descending,

   Comfort, guide the path of youth,

   Channel of all light and glory,

   Key to vision, knowledge, truth.

2. 2. Know ye not that he was holy?

   Yet he witnessed unto men

   That the way is straight and narrow

   Leading unto God again.

   Hark, glad tidings of salvation.

   Hear his word, “Come, follow me

   Unto glory in my kingdom,

   Unto life eternally.”

3. 3. Like the sound of rushing waters

   In this day his word is said:

   Holy ordinance of mercy

   For the living and the dead!

   Let your hearts rejoice in gladness!

   Let the earth break forth and sing!

   Let the dead speak praising anthems

   To our God, eternal King!
