In street and shop and tenement Wring gold from human pain, And bitter lips in blind despair Cry “Christ has died in vain!” 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 servant-hood, And where the sun that shines becomes God’s grace for human good. 4 Already in the mind of God That city rises fair. Lo, how its splendor challenges The souls that greatly dare, And bids us seize the whole of life And build its glory there. Scripture: Revelation 21 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG

Midnight hears the welcome voices, and at the rousing cry rejoices: 'Where are you, all you virgins wise? the Bridegroom comes, awake! Your lighted lamps then take. Hallelujah! With joy prepare to meet him there; the royal wedding feast is near. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, and in her heart new joy is springing; she wakes, she rises from her gloom. For her Lord now comes all-glorious, and strong in grace, in truth victorious; her star has risen, her light has come. Now come, O precious crown, Lord Jesus, God's own Son. Hail, hosanna! O lead us all into the hall where you provide your joyful meal. 3 Now let all the heavens adore you, and saints and angels sing before you with harp and cymbal's joyful tone.

Yet there will we eternally with songs acclaim your majesty. Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14 Used With Tune: WACHET AUF
