Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #625 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: Worship and Rejoice 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 wealth and plenty,
wasted work and wasted play,
call to mind the word of Jesus,
"You must work while it is day."
3 For all days are days of judgment,
and the Lord is waiting still,
drawing near to all who spurn him,
offering peace from Calvary's hill.
4 Risen Lord, shall yet the city
be the city of despair?
Come today, our judge, our glory.
Be its name, "The Lord is there!"
