Author: Bradford Gray Webster Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #212 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: O Jesus Christ, may grateful hymns be rising Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ, may grateful hymns be rising,
in every city for your love and care;
Inspire our worship, grant the glad surprising
that your blessed Spirit rouses everywhere.
2 Grant us new courage, never proud, but humble,
strong in your strength to venture and to dare;
To lift the fallen, guide the ones who stumble,
seek out the lonely and God's mercy share.
3 Show us your Spirit, brooding o'er each city,
as you once wept above Jerusalem,
Seeking to gather all in love and pity,
and healing those who touch your garment's hem.
