Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand,
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand,
That naught remains, that naught remains,
Save only You to understand.
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand.
Laugh until the clamor swells and rings,
Laugh until the clamor swells and rings,
Within that noise, within that noise,
No whispered sob its sorrow brings.
No whispered sob its sorrow brings,
That naught remains, that naught remains,
Save only You to understand.
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand.
Enfold me in Your sheltering embrace,
Enfold me in Your sheltering embrace,
Enfold me in Your sheltering embrace,
That earth and sky, that earth and sky,
No other sight can interlace.
That earth and sky, no other trace,
That naught remains, that naught remains,
Save only You to understand.
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand.
The world will call you stained, impure,
The world will call you stained, impure,
The world will call you stained, impure,
Offer not, offer not,
Excessive words to make secure.
Excessive words to make secure,
That naught remains, that naught remains,
Save only You to understand.
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand.
God is the name of knowing deep,
God is the name of knowing deep,
God is the name of knowing deep,
That even then, that even then,
No other presence we can keep.
No other presence we can keep,
That naught remains, that naught remains,
Save only You to understand.
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand.
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand,
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand,
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand,
Grant us, God, a kingdom not so grand.
