Hail the Glorious Golden City
Author: Felix Adler, 1851-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Labor Lyrics: 1 Hail the glorious golden city,
pictured by the seers of old:
everlasting light shines o'er it,
wondrous tales of it are told.
Wise and righteous men and women
dwell within its gleaming wall;
wrong is banished from its borders,
justice reigns supreme o'er all.
2 We are builders of that city.
All our joys and all our groans
help to rear its shining ramparts;
all our lives are building stones.
Whether humble or exalted,
all are called to task divine;
all must aid alike to carry
forward one sublime design.
3 And the work that we have builded,
oft with bleeding hands and tears,
oft in error, and in anguish,
will not perish with our years:
it will live and shine transfigured
in the final reign of right:
it will merge into the splendors
of the city of the light. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
Hail the Glorious Golden City
God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron, b. 1927 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Labor Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens
Infinite in time and place,
Flung the suns in burning radiance
Through the silent fields of space;
We, your children, in your likeness,
Share inventive pow'rs with you;
Great Creator, still creating,
Show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
Stately buildings, row on row;
Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
Stare on canyoned streets below,
Where the lonely drift unnoticed
In the city's ebb and flow,
Lost to purpose and to meaning,
Scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
Since the childhood of our race;
Known the ecstasy of winging
Through untraveled realms of space;
Probed the secrets of the atom,
Yielding unimagined pow'r,
Facing us with life's destruction
Or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
May it challenge us anew,
Children of creative purpose,
Serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
Each endeavor, well begun:
Great Creator, give us guidance
Till our goals and yours are one. Scripture: Genesis 1 Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA
God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

Shine on us with your face,
That all the earth your way may know
And men may see your grace.

Let all the nations sing;
Let all men worship you with joy
And songs of gladness bring.
3 The nations you will judge
And lead them in your ways;
Let all men praise your name, O God,
Let all the people praise.
4 The earth her fruit shall yield,
For God, our God, will bless;
We shall be blest, and all the world
His glory shall confess.

Judge Eternal, Throned. in Splendor
Author: Henry Scott Holland Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: Civil Year Labor Day First Line: Judge eternal, throned in splendor Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and Kings of kings,
With the living fire of judgment
Purge this realm 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 faint and hungry people
With the richness of your Word;
Cleanse the body of this nation
Through the glory of the Lord.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 82:8 Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
Judge Eternal, Throned. in Splendor
