O Holy City, Seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: UMH #726 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Person Name: Walter Russell Bowie 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, how 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 crown is servanthood, 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 splendor challenges the souls that greatly dare; yea, bids us seize the whole of life and build its glory there.

Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a scepter sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, and round his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 4. Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.
