O holy city, seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie, b.1882 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John, Where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign, Within whose foursquare walls shall come No night, nor need, nor pain, And where the tears are wiped from eyes That shall not weep again! 2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held More cheap than merchandise, From women struggling sore for bread, From little children's cries, There swells the sobbing human plaint That bids thy walls arise! 3 Give us, O God, the strength to build The city that hath stood Too long a dream, whose laws are love, Whose ways are brotherhood, And where the sun that shineth is God’s grace for human good. 4 Already in the mind of God That city riseth fair; Lo, how its splendor challenges The souls that greatly dare, Yea, bids us seize the whole of life And build its glory there.
