God, as We Rise to Leave
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #417 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: City/City of God First Line: God, as we rise to leave the shell of worship Lyrics: 1 God, as we rise to leave the shell of worship,
called to the risk of unprotected living,
willing to be at one with all your people,
we ask for courage.
2 For all the strain with living interwoven,
for the demands each day will make upon us,
and for the love we owe the modern city,
Lord, make us cheerful.
3 Give us an eye for openings to serve you;
make us alert when calm is interrupted,
ready and wise to use the unexpected;
sharpen our insight.
4 Life from our life the blanket of convention;
give us the nerve to lose ourselves to others;
be with your church in death and resurrection,
God of all ages. Languages: English Tune Title: LOBET DEN HERREN

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #731 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
God, whose word cannot be broken,
formed thee for his own 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 deriving from our banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe we feed upon the manna
which God gives us when we pray.
4. Blest inhabitants of Zion,
washed in our Redeemer's blood;
Jesus, whom our souls rely on,
makes us monarchs, priests to God.
Us, by his great love, he raises,
rulers over self to reign,
and as priests his solemn praises
we for thankful offering bring.

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #307 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: City of God Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
One whose word cannot be broken
formed you for a blessed abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
you may smile at all your foes.
2 See! the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal Love,
Well supply your sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which, like our God, 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 in near!
Thus deriving from their banner
light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
which God gives them when they pray.
4 Savior, if of Zion's city
we through grace a part may claim,
Let the world deride or pity,
we will glory in your name.
Fading is all worldly pleasure,
all earth's boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasures,
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Exodus 13:22 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be
Author: Peter Abelard; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #727 (1989) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) Lyrics: 1. O what their joy and their glory must be,
those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see;
crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be all, and in all ever blest.
2. Truly, "Jerusalem" name we that shore,
city of peace that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment are not severed there,
nor do things prayed for come short of the prayer.
3. There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
we the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
4. Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh;
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
5. Low before him with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son,
through whom, the Spirit, with them ever One.

Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1860-1935 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #760 (1997) 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, O Son of Man.
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 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Saviour, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
oh tread the city's streets again;
6 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. Scripture: Matthew 9:36 Languages: English Tune Title: WALTON (FULDA)
