O holy city, seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John, where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign, within whose four-square walls shall come no night, nor need, nor pain, and where the tears are wiped from eyes that shall not weep again. 2 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!' 3 Give us, O God, the strength to build the city that hath stood too long a dream, whose laws are love, whose ways are brotherhood, and where the sun that shineth is God’s grace for human good. 4 Already in the mind of God that city riseth fair: lo, how its splendour challenges the souls that greatly dare; yea, bids us seize the whole of life and build its glory there.

Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 99 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns And light triumphant breaks, When beauty gilds the eastern hills And life to joy awakes. 2 Not, as of old, a little child, To bear, and fight, and die, But crowned with glory like the sun That lights the morning sky. 3 O brighter than the rising morn When he, victorious, rose And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes. 4 O brighter than the glorious morn Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we his face shall see! 5 The King shall come when morning dawns And light and beauty brings. Hail, Christ, the Lord! Thy people pray: Come quickly, King of kings.
