Author: Erik Reginald Routley, 1917-82 Hymnal: Together in Song #634 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Social Justice Lyrics: 1 All who love and serve your city,
all who bear its daily stress,
all who cry for peace and justice,
all who curse and all who bless:
2 in your day of loss and sorrow,
in your day of helpless strife,
honour, peace and love retreating,
seek the Lord, who is your life.
3 In your day of wealth and plenty,
wasted work and wasted play,
call to mind the word of Jesus,
'I must work while it is day.'
4 For all days are days of judgment,
and the Lord is waiting still,
drawing near to those who spurn him,
offering peace and Calvary's hill.
5 Risen Lord, shall still our city
be the city of despair?
Come today, our Judge, our Glory,
be its name 'The Lord is there'. Scripture: John 9:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: BIRABUS
