O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, does 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 has died in vain"!
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The city that has stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood,
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.
Amen. Scripture: Revelation 21:2 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG

Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 975 hymnals Topics: Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord Jehovah's throne,
All nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and he destroy;
He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We'll crowd his gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill his courts with sounding praise,
Shall fill his courts with sounding praise.
4 Wide as the world is his command,
Vast as eternity his love;
Firm as a rock his truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

Judge Eternal, Throned in Splendor
Author: Henry Scott Holland Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: World Peace Lyrics: 1 Judge Eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of your 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, your own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord.
