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 satisfies. 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.
