O Holy City, Seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: Voices United #709 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Brotherhood/Sisterhood 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

Nature hath seasons of repose

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #804 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Nature hath seasons of repose; Her slumbering clouds and quiet sky; And many a bright-faced stream that flows Onward for ever noiselessly. 2 The stormy winds are hushed to rest, And hang self-poised upon their wings; And, nursed on mother nature's breast, Sweet flowers lie like sleeping things. 3 The ocean, that in mountains ran, Spreads boundlessly without a wave; And is it only said of man, His peace is in the gloomy grave? 4 Oh, for the coming of the end, The last long Sabbath-day of time, When peace from heaven shall descend Like heaven's own light, on every clime. 5 When men in ships far off at sea Shall hear the happy nations raise The song of peace and liberty, The chant of overflowing praise. 6 Mankind shall be one brotherhood; One human soul shall fill the earth; And God shall say, The world is good, As in the day I gave it birth.

His praise shall sound all nature round, Where'er the race of man is found. 2 God with man dominion sharing, And man with God our image bearing, Gentile and Jew to Him are given: Praise your Saviour, ransomed sinners, Of life, through Him, immortal winners: No longer heirs of earth, but heaven. O beatific sight To view His face in light! Alleluia! And while we see, transformed to be From bliss to bliss eternally. 3 Jesus, Lord, our Captain glorious, O'er sin, and death, and hell victorious, Wisdom and might to Thee belong: We confess, proclaim, adore Thee; We bow the knee, we fall before Thee, Thy love henceforth shall be our song. The cross meanwhile we bear, The crown ere long to wear: Alleluia! Thy reign extend world without end, Let praise from all to Thee ascend. Languages: English Tune Title: HERRNHUT

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: F. H. Hedge; M. Luther Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #295 (1920) Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions, Etc. Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right man on our side, The man of God's own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth His Name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever.

God is our stronghold and our stay

Author: E. Wordsworth Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #296 (1920) Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions, Etc. Lyrics: 1 God is our stronghold and our stay, Our hope in tribulation; What tho' the mountains rock and sway To earth's long-hid foundation? What tho' the ocean roar, Fast gaining on the shore, The hurtling storm rage loud Beneath the thunder cloud? Our hearts are all untroubled. 2 The might of water sinks to rest; How calm yon river glideth, God's city mirrored on its breast, The house where He abideth! Hushed be all strife and din! His presence dwells within, She standeth unremoved, By God Himself beloved, Who helpeth her right early. 3 In vain the heathen shout for war, In vain our foes assemble; The voice of God is heard from far, And earth itself shall tremble. He breaks the spear and bow, He lays the warrior low, The chariot burns with flame; Our trust is in His Name, And Jacob's God our refuge! 4 Be still, the Lord is God alone, Let all the world adore Him, And bending low before His throne, For pitying grace implore Him. His kingdom is within, O'er hearts made pure from sin, Where love that casts out fear Exults to feel Him near, The Lord of hosts our refuge. Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG

Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: T. Binney Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #297 (1920) Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions, Etc. Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! Eternal Light! How pure that soul must be, When, placed within Thy searching sight, It shrinks not, but with calm delight Can live, and look on Thee. 2 The spirits that surround Thy throne May bear the burning bliss; But surely that is theirs alone Who, undefiled, have never known A fallen world like this, 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere Is dark, whose mind is dim, Before the Ineffable appear, And on my naked spirit bear The uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for man to rise To that sublime abode; An offering and a sacrifice, A Holy Spirit's energies, An Advocate with God: 5 These, these prepare us for the sight Of holiness above: The sons of ignorance and night May dwell in the eternal Light, Through the eternal Love!

O brothers, lift your voices

Author: E. H. Bickersteth Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #496 (1920) Topics: General Brotherhood, Service and Parochial Missions Lyrics: 1 O brothers, lift your voices, Triumphant songs to raise; Till heaven on high rejoices, And earth is filled with praise. Ten thousand hearts are bounding With holy hopes and free, The Gospel trump is sounding, The trump of Jubilee. 2 O Christian brothers, glorious Shall be the conflict's close: The Cross hath been victorious, And shall be o'er its foes. Faith is our battle-token: Our Leader all controls; Our trophies, fetters broken; Our captives, ransomed souls. 3 Not unto us: Lord Jesus, To Thee all praise be due! Whose blood-bought mercy frees us Has freed our brethren too, Not unto us: in glory The angels catch the strain, And cast their crowns before Thee Exultingly again. 4 Captain of our salvation, Thy presence we adore: Praise, glory, adoration Be Thine for evermore! Still on in conflict pressing On Thee Thy people call, Thee, King of kings confessing, Thee, crowning Lord of all. Languages: English Tune Title: TOURS
