1 God's Kingdom today is a real exercise,
But when Christ comes to reign it will be a great prize;
2 God's children, we're born to be kings with His Son,
And we need to be trained that we may overcome
3 Today we must learn to submit to His throne,
How to have a strict life and His government own;
4 With a life strict to self we must righteousness hold,
Kind to others in peace, and with God joyful, bold;
5 Then Christ when He comes with the kingdom from God
Will to us grant His kingship to share as reward;
6 For this the Apostle pressed on at all cost,
For the Kingdom assured that he would not be lost;
7 O Lord, give us grace for Thy Kingdom to live,
To be trained that Thou may the reward to us give;
