 1 

Jesus the kingdom has come into us,

Reigning and shining He's all glorious,

Christ as the seed is the King who has come,

Into our spirit His kingdom He's sown.

 

O let Him grow, O let Him grow;

His kingdom life be all we know.

Jesus, the kingdom is sown into us;

Jesus, the kingdom, O how glorious!

 
 2 

We must repent for the kingdom's at hand;

All that we do, think, or feel, or have planned

Must be abandoned and changed in our mind;

Leave all the world and self-seeking behind.

 

O let Him grow, O let Him grow;

His kingdom life be all we know.

Jesus, the kingdom is sown into us;

Jesus, the kingdom, O how glorious!

 
 3 

All of religion has missed it again,

Teaching for doctrines the concepts of men;

They vainly wait for the kingdom to be,

A dispensation they're hoping to see.

 

O let Him grow, O let Him grow;

His kingdom life be all we know.

Jesus, the kingdom is sown into us;

Jesus, the kingdom, O how glorious!

 
 4 

But now the kingdom to us has been shown,

It is no less than our Jesus alone.

It is the Person of Christ in us all,

And it begins as a seed when we call.

 

O let Him grow, O let Him grow;

His kingdom life be all we know.

Jesus, the kingdom is sown into us;

Jesus, the kingdom, O how glorious!
