O Holy City seen of John

Author: W. Russell Bowie Hymnal: The Hymnal #397 (1941) Languages: English Tune Title: MORWELLHAM

Author: Rev. W. Russell Bowie Hymnal: The Hymnal #409 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Holy City, seen of John, Where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign, Within whose four-square walls shall come No night, nor need, nor pain, And where the tears are wiped from eyes That shall not weep again! 2 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"! 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! Amen.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #444 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see: I ask thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing thee. 2 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 3 I ask thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at thy side, Content to fill a little space, If thou be glorified. 4 In service which thy will appoints There are no bonds for me; My secret heart is taught the truth That makes thy children free; A life of self-renouncing love Is one of liberty. Amen.

Contentment

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: Timeless Truths #531 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 First Line: Father, I know that all my life Lyrics: 1. Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; And the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; I ask Thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing Thee. 2. I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes, And a heart, at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3. I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, E’er seeking some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4. Wherever in this world I am, In whatsoe’er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate, And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. 5. So I ask Thee for daily strength— To none that ask denied— And a mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. 6. There are briers besetting every path, Which call for constant care; There is a cross in every lot, And an earnest need for prayer; But a lowly heart that leans on Thee, Is happy everywhere. 7. In a service which Thy love appoints There are no bonds for me, For my inmost heart has learned the truth Which makes Thy children free, And a life of self-renouncing love Is a life of liberty.
