O holy city, seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: City / City of God; Jesus Christ Lamb of God; One Life in Christ Justice; Our Hope in God; Servant / Service; Social Concerns / Social Justice; Vision / Dream 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 Oh shame to us who rest content
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!”
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose crown is servanthood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair:
lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare–
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there. Scripture: Hebrews 11:10 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG Text Sources: Hymns of the Christian Life, 1910, alt.

Through all the changing scenes of life
Appears in 480 hymnals Topics: God Word of; God Providence of; Metrical Psalms; Rescue ; Servant / Service; Trust Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
in trouble and in joy,
the praises of my God shall still
my heart and tongue employ.
2 O magnify the Lord with me;
with me exalt God's name;
when in distress and fear I called,
God to my rescue came.
3 The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliverance God affords to all
who seek and hope and trust.
4 O taste and see that God is good:
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they,
who in God's truth confide.
5 O Saints, fear God, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
make holy service your delight:
your wants shall be God's care.
6 The Lord preserves the souls of those
who on God's truth depend;
to them and their posterity
God's blessing shall descend. Scripture: Psalm 34:3-9 Used With Tune: WILTSHIRE Text Sources: Paraphrase, Tate and Brady's New Version, 1969, alt.

Be Thou my hope, my joy, my rest;

Stand all engaged to make me blest.
2 Thou great and good, Thou just and wise,
Thou art my Father and my God;
And I am Thine, by sacred ties,
Thy son, Thy servant, bought with blood.
3 With fainting heart, and lifted hands,
For Thee I long, to Thee I look;
As travellers in thirsty lands
Pant for the cooling water-brook.
4 Should I from Thee, my God, remove,
Life could no lasting bliss afford:
My joy, the sense of pardoning love;
My guard, the presence of my Lord.
5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice,
While I have breath to pray or praise;
This work shall make my heart rejoice,
And fill the circle of my days. Used With Tune: MAINZER

God's Glory Fills the Heavens
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Servants of God First Line: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns Lyrics: 1 God’s glory fills the heavens with hymns;
the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark.
New praises sound from day to day
and echo through the knowing dark.
Without a word their songs roll on;
into all lands their voices run.
And with a champion’s strength and grace
from farthest heaven comes forth the sun.
2 God’s perfect law revives the soul;
its precepts make the simple wise.
Its just commands rejoice the heart;
its truth gives light unto the eyes.
Forever shall this law endure:
unblemished, righteous, true, complete.
No gold we ever found so fine,
no honey in the comb more sweet.
3 God’s servant may I ever be:
this world my joy, that word my guide.
O cleanse me, LORD, from secret sin;
deliver me from selfish pride.
Accept my thoughts and words and deeds;
let them find favor in your sight.
For you alone can make me whole,
O LORD, my refuge and my might. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: CREATION

Author: Thomas R. Birks Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Servants of God Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare your glory,
the firmament your power;
day unto day the story
repeats from hour to hour.
Night unto night replying,
proclaims in every land,
O LORD, with voice undying,
the wonders of your hand.
2 The sun with royal splendor
goes forth to chant your praise,
and moonbeams soft and tender
their gentler anthem raise.
O'er every tribe and nation
the music is outpoured,
the song of all creation
to you, creation's Lord.
3 All heaven on high rejoices
to do its Maker's will;
the stars with solemn voices
resound your praises still.
So let my whole behavior,
each thought, each deed I do,
be, LORD, my strength, my Savior,
a ceaseless song to you. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: FAITHFUL

Dear Lord and Master mine
Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Servants of Christ or God Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Master mine,
Thy happy servant see;
My Conqueror, with what joy divine
Thy captive clings to thee!
2 I love thy yoke to wear,
To feel thy gracious bands;
Sweetly restrained by thy care
And happy in thy hands.
3 No bar would I remove,
No bond would I unbind;
Within the limits of thy love
Full liberty I find.
4 I would not walk alone,
But still with thee, my God;
At ev'ry step my blindness own,
And ask of thee the road.
5 Dear Lord and Master mine,
Still keep thy servant true;
My Guardian and my Guide divine,
Bring, bring thy pilgrim through.
6 My Conqueror and my King,
Still keep me in thy train;
And with thee thy glad captive bring
When thou return'st to reign.
Amen. Scripture: James 1:1 Used With Tune: FERGUSON
