Thy kingdom come ! Yea, bid it come! <br />But when Thy kingdom first began <br />On earth, Thy kingdom was a home, <br />A child, a woman, and a man. <br /> <br />The child was in the midst thereof, <br />O, blessed Jesus, holiest One! <br />The centre and the fount of love <br />Mary and Joseph's little Son. <br /> <br />Wherever on the earth shall be <br />A child, a woman, and a man, <br />Imaging that sweet trinity <br />Wherewith Thy kingdom first began, <br /> <br />Establish there Thy kingdom! Yea, <br />And o'er that trinity of love <br />Send down, as in Thy appointed day, <br />The brooding spirit of Thy Dove!<br /><br />Katharine Tynan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adveniat-regnum-tuum/
