God Of The Farmlands

Author: Thomas Charles Hunter-Clare Hymnal: Voices United #306 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: City/City of God First Line: God of the farmlands, hear our prayer Lyrics: 1 God of the farmlands, hear our prayer, God of the growing seed, O bless the fields, for to your care we look in all our need. 2 God of the rivers in their course, God of the swelling sea, where we must strive with nature’s force, our guardian ever be. 3 God of the dark and sombre mine, God of its hard-won store, your love through toil and peril shine, your strength our hope secure. 4 God of the city’s throbbing heart, God of its industry, bid greed and base deceit depart, give true prosperity. 5 Source of authority and right, God of all earthly power, to those who govern grant your light, your wisdom be their dower. 6 God of the nations, women, men, God of each humble soul, we seek your gracious aid again: O come and make us whole.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #483 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: City / City of God Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; One whose word cannot be broken formed thee for a wrong abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayst smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear, for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading – light by night and shade by day – daily on the manna feeding which God gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, since of Zion's city we, through grace, a part may claim, let the world deride or pity, we will glory in thy name. Fading is all worldly pleasure, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Exodus 13:21-22 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Voices United #681 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: City/City of God Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice of life again. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the strong compassion of your face. 4 O Master, from the mountainside make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again, 5 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.

My Life Flows On

Author: Robert Lowry Hymnal: Voices United #716 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: A New Heaven and A New Earth Completion of Creation and City of God; City/City of God First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; above earth’s lamentation, I hear the sweet, though far off hymn that hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing: It finds an echo in my soul -- how can I keep from singing? 2 What though my joys and comforts die? My Saviour still is living. What though the shadowss gather round? A new song Christ is giving. No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I'm clinging: since Love commands both heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing? 3 When tyrants tremble, sick with fear, and hear their death knells ringing: when friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing? In prison cell and dungeon vile our thoughts to them are winging: when friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing? 4 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; and day by day this pathway smooths, since first I learned to love it. The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing: all things are mine since I am Christ's -- how can I keep from singing?

Unless the Lord constructs the house

Author: Mollie Knight Hymnal: The Book of Praise #88 (1997) Topics: City / City of God Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord constructs the house, the builders work in vain; the Lord alone designs and builds foundations that remain. 2 Unless the Lord is keeping watch, the city cannot stand; the sentry guards the gates in vain without God's mighty hand. 3 In vain you labour night and day, by constant care oppressed; the Lord supplies your loved ones' needs and grants them sleep and rest. 4 The Lord designed the family, providing earthly love; our children are God's heritage - a gift from heaven above. 5 Like weapons in a warrior's hand are those who bear our name; with them we face a hostile world assured and free from shame.
