O Holy City, Seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: Voices United #709 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: A New Heaven and A New Earth Completion of Creation and City 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, now 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 O 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 ways is brotherhood, 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! Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING SONG

O God, You Gave Your Servant John

Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #718 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: A New Heaven and A New Earth Completion of Creation and City of God Lyrics: 1 O Lord, you gave your servant John a vision of the world to come: a radiant city filled with light, where you with us will make your home; where neither grief nor pain shall dwell, since former things have passed away, and where they need no sun nor moon; your glory lights eternal day. 2 Our cities wear great shrouds of pain; beneath our gleaming towers of wealth the homeless crouch in rain and snow, the poor cry out for strength and health. Youth’s hope is dimmed by ignorance; unwilling, workers idled stand; indifference walks unheeding by as hunger stretches out its hand. 3 Come, Lord, make real John’s vision fair; come, dwell with us, make all things new; we try in vain to save our world unless our help shall come from you. Come, strengthen us to live in love; bid hatred, greed, injustice cease. Your glory all the light we need, let all our cities shine forth peace. Tune Title: CANDLER
