There’s a theme that is sweet to my memory, There’s a joy that I cannot express; There’s a treasure that gladdens my being, ’Tis the kingdom of God’s righteousness. Refrain ’Tis a kingdom of peace; It is reigning within, It shall ever increase in my soul; We possess it right here When He saves from all sin, And ’twill last while the ages shall roll. There’s a scene of its grandness before me, Of its greatness there can be no end; It is joy, it is peace, it is glory, In my heart, how these riches do blend! Refrain I am lost in its splendor and beauty, To its ne’er fading heights I would rise; Till I see the King come to receive me, And explore it with Him in the skies. Refrain What a pleasure in life it is bringing! What assurance and hope ever bright! Oh, what rapture and bliss are awaiting, When our faith shall be lost in the sight! Refrain
