Once to every man and nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: The Hymnal #373 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 't is truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own. Amen. Tune Title: TON-Y-BOTEL

O Holy City, seen of John

Author: Rev. W. Russell Bowie Hymnal: The Hymnal #409 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The City 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. Tune Title: MORWELLHAM
