Hail the Glorious Golden City

Author: Felix Adler, 1851-1933 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #140 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The City Lyrics: 1 Hail the glorious golden city, pictured by the seers of old: everlasting light shines o'er it, wondrous tales of it are told. Wise and righteous men and women dwell within its gleaming wall; wrong is banished from its borders, justice reigns supreme o'er all. 2 We are builders of that city. All our joys and all our groans help to rear its shining ramparts; all our lives are building stones. Whether humble or exalted, all are called to task divine; all must aid alike to carry forward one sublime design. 3 And the work that we have builded, oft with bleeding hands and tears, oft in error, and in anguish, will not perish with our years: it will live and shine transfigured in the final reign of right: it will merge into the splendors of the city of the light.
