Justice and Peace It Does Not Bode

Author: W J Walls Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Justice and peace it does not bode Some poor must always be Our Lord who said it was our mode, Came down to set them free. 2 You'll find Him where in dust and grime Path finders build the roads Who break the stones in sweat and brine Sing hymns that lighten loads. 3 There where the toiling masses pray In fields of waving grain He walks in sultry streets the way Of those whose wants make pain. 4 He's there with toilers in their round In mines and at the forge, Where ditchmen ope the desert ground Plowmen life's foliage. 5 Where infants are but poorly fed And crippled life endured Where there's no bare hospital bed And life's hope not assured. 6 And thereto where the tyrants have Usurped the natives' land And left its breadless tribes to starve And sleep on hardened ground. 7 The spirit leads him everywhere He brings the poor his word Freedom and health, peace without fear, He gives without the sword. 8 The Lord lifts his commanding hands And bids the millions move Oppressors loose your mighty bands For prayer has freed the slave. 9 Christ Jesus too is not dismayed To drop his robe of white To tattered be and stained in blood To share the people's plight. 10 He takes not incense for our deeds Nor ceremonies art Nor anthems loaded with our creeds But seeks a sinner's heart. 11 Now hear the cry beneath life's cliff Of victims of the fate Heartless pomp that will not life A finger's tip of weight. 12 A listening God still leads us on And he will keep us till, With Jesus help we'll win the crown And stand on freedom's hill. 13 Then let salvation's anthems ring Spirit of God come in Christ Jesus is our lawful king And brotherhood will win.
