City of God, how broad and far
Author: Samuel Johnson Hymnal: Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith #476 (1875) Topics: The City of God
City of God, how broad and far
O holy city, seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #711 (1997) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: City / City of God Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 Oh 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!”
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose crown is servanthood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
5 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. Scripture: Hebrews 11:10 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING SONG

Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: J. Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #197 (1917) Topics: City Of God; City Of God; Zion, City of God Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He, whose word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for His own abode;
On the Rock of ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Still supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove;
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows our thirst to assuage?
Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear,
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near;
He who gives us daily manna,
He who listens when we cry,
Let Him hear the loud hosanna
Rising to His throne on high. Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA
