The Lord will come and not be slow
Author: John Milton, 1608 - 74 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #327 (1958) Topics: The Church Year Advent; The Propagation of the Gospel; City, Nation, World; Church Life and Work The Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come and not be slow,
His footsteps cannot err;
Before him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
Shall bud and blossom then;
And justice, from her heavenly bower,
Look down on mortal men. A-men.
3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
This wicked earth redress;
For thou art he who shalt by right
The nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
Shall come, and all shall frame
To bow them low before thee, Lord,
And glorify thy Name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
By thy strong hand are done:
Thou in thy everlasting seat
Remainest God alone.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 82:4 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN (NEWINGTON)

The passing ages pray;
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that kingdom's day.

Not less to God belong;
And for the everlasting right
The silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed,
When justice shall be throned in might,
And every hurt be healed;
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad;
The day of perfect righteousness,
The promised day of God. Languages: English Tune Title: IRISH

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. Languages: English Tune Title: FORD COTTAGE

While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry, "Christ hath died in vain"!

The City that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,

Lord of Lords and Kings of Kings,
With Thy living fire of judgment
Purge our land of bitter things:
Solace all its wide dominion
With the healing of Thy wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
For the hour that brings release:
And the city's crowded clangor
Cries aloud for sin to cease;
And the homesteads and the woodlands
Plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, Thine own endeavor:
Cleave our darkness with Thy sword:
Feed the faint and hungry people
With the richness of Thy word:
Cleanse the body of this nation
Through the glory of the Lord.

Now Join We to Praise the Creator
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #92 (1977) Topics: The Goodness and Providence of God; Christian Concern Society and City Lyrics: 1 Now join we to praise the Creator,
Our voices in worship and song;
We stand to recall with thanksgiving
That to Him all seasons belong.
We thank you, O God, for your goodness,
For the joy and abundance of crops,
For food that is stored in the cupboards,
For all we can buy in the shops.
2 But also of need and starvation
We sing with concern and despair,
Of skills that are used for destruction,
Of land that is burnt and laid bare.
We cry for the plight of the hungry
While harvests are left in the field,
For orchards neglected and wasting,
For produce from markets withheld.
3 The song grows in depth and in wideness;
The earth and the people are one.
There can be no thanks without giving,
No words without deeds that are done.
Then teach us, O Lord of the harvest,
To be humble in all that we claim,
To share what we have with the nations,
To care for the world in your name. Languages: English Tune Title: SHARING

O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]

With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:

While God is marching on. [Refrain]
