Lord, Accept Into Thy Kingdom

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. 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. Like the sound of rushing waters In this day his word is said; “Holly 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!
