1. Men have been groping for centuries in darkness
Vain is their quest as they try to catch the wind
Man's tragic flaw is revealed in its starkness:
None can they save, for they all have sinned

(CHORUS)
Sing with good cheer, for God's Kingdom is here!
His Son's mighty reign brings us
Freedom from fear
Through him, at last, evil soon will be past;
This hope, like an anchor, is holding us fast

2. "God's day is near!" rings the Kingdom proclamation;
Men will no longer cry out to God: "How long?"
Soon he will free all his groaning creation
Praise God Almighty, and join our song

(CHORUS)
Sing with good cheer, for God's Kingdom is here!
His Son's mighty reign brings us
Freedom from fear
Through him, at last, evil soon will be past;
This hope, like an anchor, is holding us fast
