Kingdom Anthem (I) The Kingdom Descends on the World

The people cheer God, the people praise God; all mouths name the one true God.

The kingdom descends on the world.

The people cheer God, the people praise God;

all mouths name the one true God, all people raise their eyes to watch God’s deeds.

The kingdom descends on the world,

God’s person is rich and bountiful (rich and bountiful).

Who would not celebrate for this? (Who would not celebrate for this?)

Who would not dance with joy for this? (Who would not dance with joy for this?)

Oh, Zion! (Oh, Zion!) Oh, Zion! (Oh, Zion!)

Raise your triumphant banner to celebrate God!

Sing your triumphant song of victory and spread God’s holy name!

All things on earth! Now purify yourselves in sacrifice for God!

Stars in the sky! Now return to your places and show God’s greatness in the firmament!

God attends to the voices of the people on earth,

pouring out infinite love and reverence for Him in song!

On this day, as all things rejuvenate, God comes to walk the earth.

At this moment, the flowers bloom, the birds sing, all things are full of jubilation!

The birds sing, all things are full of jubilation! In the sound of the kingdom’s salute, Satan’s kingdom collapses,

destroyed in the reverberating chorus of the kingdom anthem. And it will never rise again!

Who on the earth dares to rise and resist?

As God descends to earth He brings burning, brings wrath,

brings all disasters, brings all disasters.

The earthly kingdoms now are God’s kingdom!

Up in the sky, the clouds tumble and billow;

under the sky (under the sky), under the sky (under the sky),

lakes and rivers surge and churn out a moving melody.

Resting animals emerge from their dens, and all peoples who slumber are awakened by God.

The day all peoples have awaited finally has come!

They offer up the most beautiful songs to God! To God!

To God!

Kingdom Anthem (II) God Has Come and God Reigns

At this beautiful moment, at this exciting time,

the heavens above and all under heaven now praise.

Who would not be excited for this? Who would not rejoice for this?

Who would not weep on this occasion? Who would not weep on this occasion?

Ay …

The sky is not the same sky, now it is the kingdom’s sky.

The earth is not the earth it was, but now is holy earth.

After a heavy rain has passed, the filthy old world is utterly transformed.

After a heavy rain has passed, the filthy old world is utterly transformed.

The mountains changing … the waters changing …

People too changing … all things changing …

Quiet mountains! Dance for God!

Stagnant waters! Flow freely!

Slumbering men! Rise up in your pursuits! Rise up in your pursuits!

Ay …

God has come … And God reigns …

God has come … And God reigns …

All will see with their own eyes God’s face, all will hear with their own ears God’s voice,

experience for themselves life in the kingdom …

So sweet … So beautiful …

So sweet … So beautiful …

Unforgettable … Unforgettable …

Ay …

In the burning of God’s wrath, the great red dragon struggles.

In God’s majestic judgment, devils show their true forms.

At God’s stern words, at God’s stern words,

all feel shame, not daring to show their faces.

Recalling the past, how they mocked God,

always showing off themselves, always defying God.

Today, who will not weep?

Who feels no remorse? Who feels no remorse?

The entire universe world is full of tears …

Full of the sounds of rejoicing … full of laughter …

Incomparable joy … Incomparable joy …

Light rain pattering … heavy snow fluttering down …

People mingling sorrow and joy …

Some laughing … some sobbing … and some cheering …

As if people have forgotten … whether it is an overcast and rainy spring,

Ay …

A summer of blooming flowers, an autumn of bountiful harvest,

A winter cold as ice and frost, no one knows …

In the sky the clouds drift, on the earth the seas boil.

The sons wave their arms … the people move their feet in dance …

The angels are at work … the angels are shepherding …

The people of earth bustle, all things on earth multiply.

The people of earth bustle, all things on earth multiply.

Ay …

Kingdom Anthem (III) People! Rejoice!

In God’s light, people see the light again.

In God’s word, people find the things for enjoyment.

God has come from the East and He hails from there.

When God’s glory shines, all nations are lighted,

all is brought to light, not a thing remains in darkness.

In the kingdom, the life of God’s people with God is incomparably happy.

The waters dance for people’s blessed lives,

the mountains enjoy with people God’s abundance.

All men are striving, working hard,

showing their loyalty in God’s kingdom.

In the kingdom, there is no more rebellion, no more resistance;

the heavens and the earth depend on each other, man and God are close and feel deeply,

through life’s felicities, leaning together….

At this time, God formally begins the heavenly life.

Satan’s interference is no more, and the people enter into rest.

Throughout the universe, God’s chosen people live in His glory,

blessed beyond compare, not as people living among people, but as people living with God.

Everyone has experienced Satan’s corruption, tasted life’s bitterness and sweetness.

Now living in God’s light, how can one not rejoice?

How can one simply forgo such a beautiful moment and let it pass?

People! Now sing the songs in your hearts and dance for God!

Now lift your sincere hearts and offer them to God!

Now beat your drums and play for God!

God shines joy over all the universe!

He shows the people His glorious face!

He shall thunder! He shall transcend the universe!

Already He reigns among the people! He is exalted by the people!

God drifts in the blue heavens

and the people move with Him. God walks among the people

and His people surround Him! The people’s hearts are joyous,

their songs shake the universe, cracking the skies!

The universe is no longer shrouded in fog; there is no more mud, no more sewage gathering.

Holy people of the universe! Under God’s inspection your true countenance is revealed.

You are not men covered in filth, but saints pure as jade,

all God’s beloved, all God’s delights!

All things come back to life!

All saints are back in heavens serving God, entering His warm embrace,

no longer weeping, no longer anxious,

offering up themselves to God, returning to His home, returning to His home,

and in their homeland they will love God endlessly! Unchanging! Unchanging!

Where is the sorrow! Where are the tears! Where is the flesh!

The earth is no longer; the heavens are forever.

God appears to all peoples, and all peoples praise God.

This life, this beauty, from time immemorial and forevermore, will not change.

This is life in the kingdom. This is life in the kingdom.

This is life in the kingdom.
