King of the City Splendid

Author: George T. Coster Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3537 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.4 Lyrics: 1. King of the City Splendid, Eternal in the height, May all our country’s cities Grow holy in Thy sight; Cleansed from the deeds of darkness— Cities of light. 2. Teach love to gladden children That know not childhood’s mirth, Wronged of their rights—no beauty In their scant reach of earth; To hope’s large sunshine give them A second birth. 3. Give joy to all the joyless, Song’s voice to sorrows dumb, May light invade with blessing Each dark and deathly slum; Into earth’s realms of horror Thy Kingdom come! 4. Soon may our country’s cities Thy robe of glory wear; Each place of toil a temple, Each house a home of prayer; Each city’s name of beauty— The Lord is there!

King of the city splendid

Author: G. T. Coster, 1835- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #415 (1917) Lyrics: 1 King of the city splendid, Eternal in the height, May all our country's cities Be holy in Thy sight: Cleansed from the deeds of darkness Cities of light. 2 Inspire the sons of labour, That honest toil may be Their token, in life's hardness, Of loyalty to Thee. That Thou mayst in their hand-work Love's heart-work see. 3 Teach love to gladden children Who know not childhood's mirth, Wronged of their rights no beauty In their scant reach of earth: To hope's large sunshine give them A second birth. 4 Lord, end the spell of passion, Break Thou the drunkard's lure: Thou art the one Physician The human heart to cure; The wavering will to strengthen, Foul life make pure. 5 Soon may our country's cities Thy robe of glory wear: Each place of toil a temple, Each house a home of prayer: Each city's name of beauty The Lord is There!
