O holy city, seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie, b.1882 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: City, Nation, World; The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession; Church Life and Work The Kingdom of God 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.

We Wait the Peaceful Kingdom

Author: Kathleen R. Moore Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Life of the Nations Lyrics: 1 We wait the peaceful kingdom, when wolf and lamb shall lie in gentleness and friendship without a fear or sigh, when lion shall be grazing, when snake shall never strike; a little child shall lead us both strong and weak alike. 2 Where is the peaceful kingdom? When will this new day start? We long for peace and comfort to reign within each heart. Yet not in our lives only, nor simply in our home: we pray that all creation will one day find shalom. 3 When wars of desolation and hate come to an end, when nation meets with nation and calls the other "friend," still peace in all its fullness will only have begun: shalom for all creation begins with justice done. 4 That little child shall lead us to walk the chosen way, to share the peaceful kingdom, to greet God's newborn day. The child born in a stable is sent to break our chains, to bring through word and table the day when justice reigns. Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-4 Used With Tune: MERLE’S TUNE
