We know your presence here where humble Christians love and serve in godly grace and fear. O Word made flesh, be seen in us! May all we say and do affirm you God Incarnate still and turn sad hearts to you! 3 Your people are your hands and feet to serve your world today, our lives the book our cities read to help them find your way. O pour your sovereign Spirit out on heart and will and brain: inspire your church with love and power to ease our cities’ pain! 4 O healing Saviour, Prince of Peace, salvation’s source and sum, for you our broken cities cry: Oh come, Lord Jesus, come! With truth your royal diadem, with righteousness your rod, oh come, Lord Jesus, bring to earth the city of our God! Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: THE THIRD TUNE
