Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #54 (1977) 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,
Honor, 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,
'Work ye yet while it is day.'
4 For all days are days of judgment,
And the Lord is waiting still,
Drawing near to men who spurn him,
Offering peace from Calvary's hill.
5 Risen Lord, shall yet the city,
Be the city of despair?
Come today, our Judge, our Glory,
Be its name, 'The Lord is there!' Topics: Christian Concern Society and City Scripture: Luke 19:41 Languages: English Tune Title: BIRABUS
